Fr. Anthony Ahamefule (pronounced Ahem-may-fay-lay) was born August 23, 1984, in Kano State, Nigeria. “Fr. Ahamefule thinks his vocation began when he was just 10. Confirmation comes at age 12 in Nigeria, and a boy cannot be an altar server before he’s confirmed. And yet, Fr. Ahamefule, was an altar server at age 11.” Fr. Ahamefule spent his pastoral year at The Madeleine Parish in Northeast Portland. Fr. Ahamefule graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Theology from Mount Angel Seminary.
