Fr. Ugochukwu Ugwoke is a Catholic priest of the Schoenstatt Fathers Community in Nigeria. He discerned his vocation to the priesthood at a young age and was formed within the Schoenstatt spirituality, which emphasizes covenant love with God, Marian devotion, and apostolic zeal.

Through years of philosophical, theological, and pastoral formation both within and outside Nigeria, he came to appreciate the priesthood not merely as a ministry, but as a life totally given to God and His people.

He was ordained a priest in 2019. As a priest, he have been involved in pastoral ministry, preaching, teaching, spiritual accompaniment, and administrative responsibilities. He currently serve as the bursar of my religious congregation, where he am engaged in financial stewardship, institutional development, and the promotion of sustainable structures for mission and formation. He is also actively involved in online evangelism aimed at helping people connect faith with daily life.
