KENYA

KARIBUNI SANA!

Leadership Team of the East African Province (2022-2026) with some Senior Sisters

Kenya is one of the three countries belonging to the East African Province. The first three CPS Sisters arrived at Nairobi, Kenya from the Netherlands on 15 October 1925, the Feast of St. Teresa of Avila. Their first home, aptly named St. Theresa’s Convent, was located in Eastleigh on the outskirts of Nairobi and belonged to St. Peter Claver Mission under the direction of a Holy Ghost Father. The diocese hoped to open a new mission and thus closed the station in 1947. Nevertheless, the CPS Sisters are present in several communities and have continued to serve in various apostolates in Kenya such as education, health care, pastoral and social ministry.

As we step into the Jubilee Year from December 2024 to 2025,

let us invite God the Holy Spirit to enable us to be real pilgrims of Hope

in our communities and among the people we serve.

Father in heaven,

may the faith you have given us

in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,

and the flame of charity enkindled

in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,

reawaken in us the blessed hope

for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us

into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel.

May those seeds transform from within both humanity

and the whole cosmos

in the sure expectation

of a new heaven and a new earth,

when, with the powers of Evil vanquished,

your glory will shine eternally.

May the grace of the Jubilee

reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,

a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread

the joy and peace of our Redeemer

throughout the earth.

To you our God, eternally blessed,

be glory and praise for ever.

Amen (more…)
