A photo of a newly ordained Catholic priest, reportedly named Father Simon Irungu Njaramba of St. Benedict Kiamuiru parish in Nyeri county, has taken social media by storm especially TikTok where it has triggered a wave of emotional reactions and playful banter, mostly from women.
In the viral image, Father Simon is seen in his priestly robes, exuding calm confidence and charm. But it wasn’t just his spiritual calling that caught the public’s attention but his striking good looks became the talk of the town.
Many online users couldn’t help but comment on how handsome he appeared, with some boldly asking for his phone number, while others jokingly questioned why such a good-looking man chose the path of priesthood.
A few also expressed curiosity about where he serves, asking which parish he belongs to so they could “pay a visit,” while others pondered whether it’s fair that the Catholic Church doesn’t allow its priests to marry.
According to Catholic doctrine, priests take a vow of celibacy, dedicating their lives entirely to God and the service of the Church, something many fans of Father Simon seemed to forget in the heat of admiration.
