Discover Kenya Parishes

An international group of Oblates continues to oversee and further the mission in Kenya initiated by the Canadian Oblates in 1995

Parish Ministry is a very demanding and vibrant part of the OMI Kenya Mission. Perhaps we can summarise our objectives in this way: working with those we serve, we nurture and develop people’s relationship with God by…

 

 

  1. building community spirit and inter-community support
    (Small Christian Communities and Oblate Lay Associates);
  2. caring for those in distress (emergency support);
  3. empowering children
    (education, Sunday school);
  4. strengthening and challenging our youth
    (seminars, initiation camps, sport, competitions, counselling);
  5. encouraging our Elders
    (visitations, community outreach); and
  6. involvement in managing and leading the parish
    (Parish Council, ministries of Catechist, choir, youth patrons, liturgy, groups).
