PASTOR

Fr. Godwin, the 8th Pastor, of our parish joined the diocese of Rockford in 1999. He attended The Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary/University in Emmitsburg MD., and was ordained to the priesthood in Rockford in 2003 by the Most Rev. Thomas Doran, (bishop emeritus).

He has served in various parishes in the diocese in many capacities as Parochial Vicar, Administrator and Pastor in addition to serving in the Diocesan Presbyteral Council, College of Consultors, Spiritual Director for the Diocesan Legion of Mary and the Cursillo, among other endeavors.

While at the Newman Center, he and some parishioners went on a charity mission in Africa, and upon return founded ImaBridge (Love Bridge for Africa) which, in addition to building the bridges of love here in the USA also serves the less privileged in Africa, in areas of healthcare, provision of drinking water, education, and entrepreneurial development.
