African Muslim thrives as ordained Catholic

    Firmin Adamon, of African origin arrived in Cesena more than one year ago, was ordained on the 16th of January, 2009. He converted to Catholicism as an adult and wants to be a priest. Although his family is Muslim, they didn’t oppose his choice; on the contrary, they were supportive to the point that some of his brothers followed his example converting to Catholicism and moving to Italy. Since he arrived in Italy in 2001, he started his ecclesiastical studies in Rome at the Università Pontificia Salesiana. He was welcomed in Cesena, he says, and plans to become a deacon and serve the community there.
