    My cousin was to be ordained at age 25 but was given a one year to serve at the Bishopric, and was ordained at age 26. He was ordained 1996 marked his 25year( silver jubilee ) Last year and is 52yrs this year. Check it out. Because both of his parents were headmaster/ teacher, he started earlier.

    It is very possible to be ordained at 25 or 26. I for instance started JS 1 at 10years and graduated secondary school at 16 years of age. If I had gone to the major seminary immediately, I would've been ordained at 25 (9years formation). However, I went to the seminary 3 years later (@19 years) and was ordained at 28. It is possible then to graduate from the seminary at that young age. After all, there's no strike action that might drag you back

    There are still a few men ordained at 25 which had been the typical age. I know of a number of men who had been ordained a transitional diaconate at 23 after their Ordinary (bishop) petitioned the Holy See (Congregation or Dicastory of Clergy office in Rome). Then six months later they submitted their petition to be ordained a priest at 24. Canon law has some flexibility with ages and the window between transitional diaconate and priesthood. This window is six months but I know of a few who were ordained deacons in December and allowed to be ordained priests 3 months later.

    It's possible. There are Priests who are either Diocesan ( ordained for a particular diocese) or a religious ( e.g Dominican or Jesuit). More importantly, it is not necessarily a requirement to enter the major seminary from minor seminary. In other words, some validly ordained catholic priest enter the major seminary immediately after secondary school.
    ***In between, one of the major requirements is that one must have at least " a diploma in philosophy and a bachelor degree in theology".
    Remember, in USA or Europe, the study for priesthood is between 6-7 years.

What is the argument about? What is the doubt about? Please celebrate his accomplishment. “ He is a priest for ever, A priest like Melchizedek of old”

Then later changed his mind again and returned to the seminary continuing to the priesthood. Without special dispensation from Rome, a priest will not be ordained below the age of 25 years old.

    Your queries are answered my dear. The longest serminoral is for jusuits who takes 12 years.
    Otherwise he is ordained. Let him serve God. Remember you can't be forced to do priesthood by your parents. Infect parents are against always. Another thing to finish priesthood you have to complete 7 years as a diocesan also it depends with your country or the group you are joining. Priests are in different groups.

    I have long priest in my diocese. So far you are done with your secondary school you can apply and spend ten years in the seminary.
    This reverned father çompleted his secondary school at the age of 17 and spent 10 years in the seminary, which is equivalent to his age.
    There is no where you spend 17 years in the seminary except you are being given suspension and the highest is 13 which you spend as a religious priest

    4 year's philosophy of which he attends his pastoral work 4 year's Theology that's 8 years 1 year diaconate and next year making it 10th year is ordination
    Remember during his philosophy and theological studies he does his lectoral, and Accolyte so is possible to be ordained as catholic priest at the age of 24 or 25 as the case maybe. Thank you.

      Like a typical anti catholic protestant who never studied biblical hermeneutics you take the scriptural passage out of context to “support” your nonsense. “Call no man on earth your father.” Your male parent on earth do you not call him your father? The Bible says: “Call no man on earth teacher.” In many Latin languages we say “maestro” ( teacher) who teaches in school. When you visit your physician don’t you call him doctor? Doctor in its original meaning means Teacher. St Paul said, “ I am your spiritual father because I have begotten you in Christ. Obviously, your interpretation is wrong and supports your anti-catholic position

    Mostly Roman Catholic priests get ordained at that age as Father Ebuka. I do not know what is the importance of it is? Nor it is not wrong that priests get ordained at an age of 24 four as well. Depends on the scholar's curriculum. It is not to count him as the youngest priest in Nigeria or in the world. No. His age is correct and proper. If he finishes with the regular scholars' system: Primary, Secondary, and Colleges of philosophy courses of 2 years, then
    minimum 4 years of theology plus one extra year as 5fth year of last theological formations. It is ok. THEN THEY CAN BE ORDAINED FOR PRIESTHOOD. Let us calculate all studies for becoming a priest: Primary or Elementary School.
    In Europe, it differs from state to state. In some countries, they count 3-8 years of studies or schooling. You must calculate that all Communist countries had Elementary education for 8 years. Then Secondary or Grammer School- we call it for priestly formations, but studies are
    classical as Gymnasiumums duration of 4 years. ( In some Religious Communities like Franciscans, Dominicans, Carmelites, Salesians, Jesuits and the rest of the different Congregations include a 1 year of their Religious formations or Noviciate, they placed first Religious vows- promisses for the period of 3 years as they call it simple promises or vows.)
    For Europeans STANDARDS some students have to study for 21 years before becoming priests. It differs from State to state. Why 21. Because added 1 year of Obligatory military service of training. It is indispensable to be a citizen of any Country in Europe if you do not offer Military service - a minimum of one year- in some countries even more than 2 years.
    On contrary, you will be subject to incarceration or punishment in jail. All states in Central and Eastern Europe had been under the Russian Communist regime. And military service was obligatory. Normally without these (2) two years of Noviciate and military services
    WOULD BE 19 YEARS OF CONTINUING STUDY TO BECOME A PRIEST IN EUROPE. you must know that all the clergy from Baltic States, Poland, Cech Republic, and Slovakia, with Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania, Ukraine and Serbia had been under Communist ideology. Whoever entered the Seminaries for priestly formations was obligated to do this
    2 years extra or 1. If he did not belong to Religious Community.TOTALING 19 YEARS OF STUDIES AND 2 YEARS OF OTHER OBLIGATORY SERVICES- WHICH
    WOULD CORRESPOND TO 21 YEARS IN TOTAL.
    AGE WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT FATHER Ebuka in Nigeria is not too young is very normal and proper. Hope that Nigerian Catholic Church uses the same system as others from Europe. Therefore his age is proper and correct. I do believe that Nigerian young students for priesthoods do not go to Military training.
    19- 20 years of completed studies and preparations to become a roman Catholic priest. It is OK.
