An Italian Catholic priest, Sandro Ferretto (also reported as Father Sandro), leaves the priesthood and marries a long-time partner, Sharon Jepng’ok, in Baringo, Kenya. Both outlets say the woman is Tugen and that the couple’s relationship is described as longstanding.
According to the reports, Ferretto has worked as a priest and missionary for years in Baringo, serving in areas including Kasiela and Mochongoi. One source adds that he is Italian-born and previously served as a parish priest before departing the priesthood, framing the marriage as a new chapter after the decision to quit. Another source emphasizes the length of his missionary work, saying he spent about 12 years before leaving.
The accounts align on the key outcome—he quits priesthood and marries Sharon in Baringo—but differ mainly in emphasis, with one focusing on his parish/service locations and the other on the duration of missionary work. Neither source provides detailed confirmation from church authorities in the excerpts provided.
