Tragic: Nigerian Priest Slumps and Passes Away During U.S. Walk
The statement reads
The funeral arrangement will be announced soon. May the soul of Rev. Fr. Michael Oli rest in peace, Amen
With confidence in the Resurrection of the Lord, I write to inform you of the sudden d3ath this morning, March 26, 2026, of our brother Fr. Michael Oli, Pastor of St Joseph in Faith, St. Joseph in Mud Butte, and St. Anthony in Red Owl,
He added: “I have been in communication with the Deputy Sheriff of Meade County, who has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of d3ath. At this point, we do not know about the cause of d3ath, just that he hadn’t been feeling well.”
As is our custom, I invite all the priests serving in the diocese to offer three Masses for the repose of the soul of Fr. Michael. Arrangements are pending. Eternal rest grant unto him and let perpetual light shine upon him.”
