Kenya, like most African countries, has experienced and continues to live with various hardships such as famine, epidemic dis ... eases, poor governance, and illiteracy. The Catholic Church has been at the forefront in working for changes that can end the vicious cycle of poverty, while at the same time paying keen attention to the spiritual and material needs of God’s people, sharing the message of the gospel and practical necessities such as food, shelter, and clothing. We DISCALCED CARMELITES train young Kenyan seminarians to become priests: beacons of hope and pillars of strength for the needy Kenyans. We minister to the needs of God’s people in parishes and in our monasteries by our prayer and presence and projects of love. We appeal to our brothers and sisters in St. Mary parish to support us and become part of this great mission. In deed, the Lord invites us to become messengers of the Gospel to others, driven by the love we bear for him, and sustained by the love we receive from each other. read more
