I am Fr. Alvan Ibeh SMMM, born 16th July 1982.
I was ordained a priest for the religious family of Sons of MARY Mother of MERCY on the 21st of July 2012 . My first assignment after ordination was to work as a Bursar and then as Vice Principal in one of our secondary schools from 2012 to 2015.
I came to England on the 12th of May 2015. I worked as an assistant priest in Our Lady and English Martyrs and St. Laurence's Parishes both in Cambridge from June to October 2015. I moved to Bury St. Edmund’s in Suffolk where I served as assistant priest, hospital and school chaplain.
I left Bury St. Edmund’s September 2018 to St. Mary’s Great Yarmouth where I am now working to date as Assisting Priest both at St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s and also a Trust Chaplain at the James Paget Hospital. It’s being a great blessing working for both Parishes and also the hospital.
