Former Catholic Reverend Father Gets Married

Patrick Edet, the Nigerian Catholic priest, whose denouncement as a Revered Father on radio surprised Nigerians and left controversy behind, has finally got married.

He got married to Iyene after 11 years in the ministry.

The wedding took place on Saturday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Mr. Edet, from Akwa Ibom, has now started his ministry, the Grace Family.

“The reason I am doing this is that I want to be right with God first. I want to go to heaven when I die,” he had said of his resignation from the Catholic Church.

He had also said that being a Catholic priest did not give him enough space to serve God.

“A box is already made for you and you cannot go outside that box.

“You cannot know God beyond that box. You cannot express God beyond that box. And any attempt for you to go beyond that box brings you label,” he said.
