Delight as new priest arrives in Fakenham

Parishioners at St Anthony of Padua, Fakenham were delighted to welcome a new priest, following the retirement of Fr Andrew Neate at the end of September, reports Margaret Hulme.

Fr Dominic Amoah arrived in the parish just ahead of Remembrance weekend which saw him not only celebrate the weekend masses but attend the town’s Parade and Civic Service of Remembrance at the Parish Church of St Peter and Paul, Fakenham, where amongst others he was able to meet local church leaders and the Town Mayor Cllr Angela Glynn.

Born into a Catholic family and raised in a small town in the central region of Ghana,  West Africa, Fr Dominic had seminary training firstly at St Paul’s Major Seminary, Sowutuom, Accra  followed by St Peter’s Regional Seminary, Pedu, Cape Coast where he was prepared for the Diaconate and priesthood ordinations.

Following his ordination on December 5, 2004, by Cardinal Peter Appiah Turkson, Fr Dominic served in several different places and capacities as a Parochial Vicar, Archdiocesan Youth Chaplain and Parish Priest.

Fr Dominic arrived in England in September 2023, and was appointed as an assistant Priest at St Mary,  Ipswich.

In his spare time, Fr Dominic enjoys walking, both watching and player football, reading and listening to music.
