Father Henry Huber is the youngest of six siblings raised on a farm outside of Delhi. He is a graduate of Maquoketa Valley and the University of Northern lowa. He was ordained to the priesthood in June of 2002.

“In the 24 years that I have been a priest, I have been assigned to 36 parishes (including our current 12). I have a number of hobbies such as woodworking and target shooting that I rarely find time for. At the end of the day I usually am satisfied with a good book. On my day off, you are more likely to find me engaged with something on the farm where I grew up. I'm very happy to be with you now, I look forward to getting to know you better, and I hope to be here a long time

I am Rev. Fr. Isaac Kwadwo Adjei Boadu. I am 47 years old and was ordained into the priesthood on the ticket of the Catholic Diocese of Techiman, Ghana, West Africa on June 18, 2011.

I come from blended family and have 10 siblings; 2 brothers and 8 sisters. My mother's name is Veronica Addea Birago. My father, Nana Samuel Kusi Boadu passed away 20 years ago and was the chief (traditional leader) of our town.   

My priestly experiences include Chair of my Diocesan Priests Association, Vocations Director for my diocese for 6 years, Chaplain for the Youth of Diocese Techiman for 7 years, Chaplain of Hospital, & High School. I also served as an associate priest for five months after my ordination and pastor of three different parishes within thirteen (13) years.

I was a member of the college of consultors and Presbyterial council as well as Dean of Atebubu Deanery of the Diocese of Techiman prior to my coming to the United States last year. I hold a Master of Philosophy in the Study of Religions, Master Arts in Religion, First Degree in Theology and a First Degree in Sociology and Religions.

I moved into the Archdiocese of Dubuque since, June, 2025 and have since served as a pastor of Sacred Heart Parish, Monticello and St. Luke's Parish, Hopkinton.

My hobbies include reading, watching soccer and playing volleyball. I am very eager and open to serve the people in the Oelwein Area Pastorate.

It is a blessing from God that I have been called to ordination as a Permanent Deacon in the Archdioceses of Dubuque.  I am married to my wife Cheryl, have two wonderful married adult children and six fantastic grandchildren with a new little addition of a great-grandchild to join the team soon.   Currently I am a Deacon in the "Oelwein Pastorate' for the Archdiocese of Dubuque, working at Sacred Heart Parish in Oelwein, IA 

 I remain active in may new duties to begin the new Pastorate, in an effort to help the transition while we look to replace some open staff positions.  I am happy to help the parish at any time when called upon.  I look forward to many more years of serving with and for the people of God at Sacred Heart and in our new Pastorate.
