Awongo graduated from seminary school in 1990 and served in the San Diego Catholic Diocese under three parishes: at St. Francis of Assisi in Vista, a parish in El Centro and St. John s.
The church did not detail the accusations made against Awongo, but Father Bahash called them, terrible and shocking, in his letter to parishioners.
In the same bulletin, Bishop Robert McElroy called the advances towards several adult women, aggressive. One of the great sadness s for a bishop and for the Catholic community as a whole occurs when a priest has grievously failed the flock entrusted to his care, McElroy wrote.

After more than a year and a half of imagining a new kind of library and collecting Spanish-language books to fill it, a group of Latino South Philadelphia residents launched Philibros a book-sharing project that aims to promote reading and strengthen solidarity and trust.
Philibros installed its first community-based library last week at Taquitos de Puebla Restaurant in the Ninth Street Market. Still coming are more than 15 wooden libraries on track for arrival to various Mexican-owned business locations throughout South Philly. Participating business include: Tamalex, Kalas Estética,Alma del Mar, Philly Barbacoa, Philatinos Radio, Los Amigos Bakery, Mole Poblano, Cuatro Soles and Morales Taquería.
