From WWNY:
The Diocese of Ogdensburg is advising foreign-born priests not to leave the country. It comes after one of its priests was barred from re-entering the United States, despite his legal status here.
Father John Ojuok is a parochial vicar at St. Peter’s, St. Mary’s, and St. Hedwig’s churches in Lewis County. The parish community calls his presence a wellspring of hope and faith, but one of his most cherished phrases, “I’m happy to see your smiling face,” hasn’t been spoken to parishioners in months.
