My name is Fr. Martin Kilonzo, ALCP/OSS. I am a Roman Catholic priest and a member of the Apostolic Life Community of Priests in Opus Spiritus Sancti (ALCP/OSS). Originally from Kenya, East Africa, I currently serve as parochial vicar at St. Joseph’s Church in Devils Lake, N.D. My journey has been a remarkable experience of faith, formation, missionary service, and trust in God’s providence. I was born in 1978 in Kilenge, a small village in Makueni County, southeastern Kenya, where I attended elementary school. I later joined Pope Paul VI Minor Seminary in the Diocese of Machakos, my home diocese, where I received a high school education and spiritual formation that helped prepare me for the priesthood. After four years at the minor seminary, I pursued three years of philosophical studies at the Spiritan Missionary Seminary in Arusha, Tanzania, followed by four years of theological studies at Jordan University College in Morogoro, Tanzania.

A Common Quandary to discuss

You are vegetarian, but the leftover steak is headed for the trash. Do you eat it?

A vegetarian avoids buying meat because of animal welfare concerns. At work events, untouched meat is routinely thrown away, and eating it would neither increase demand nor cause another animal to be harmed.

Should a moral practice be judged by its consequences or its consistency?
