Parish Details

We have the following places and the numbers of people are estimated... we hope to have a clearer number later in the year. Numbers keep changing for several reasons: new members joining, a lot of the people are semi-nomadic, recently in Empaash a lot of people from other tribes moved back to their ancestral homes because of intimidation.

Kibiko the largest church with approx 300 families receives mass every Sunday in the church and daily in the convent, there is a convent there with three nuns and also a new community with 4 lay women living community life 

Ewuaso Kedong with about 50 families and where the parish base or centre is, mass is held daily in the blessed sacrament chapel and once a month on Sunday in the social hall  

Empaash had a tin (galvanised iron) church and receives mass once a month on Sunday and once a month on Tuesday, there are about 25 families and also 35 girls from an adjacent girls rescue centre.

Saikeri has a church under construction and receives mass once a month on Sunday. There are approx 30 families.

Kimuka has a tin church and was once a flourishing community but the area was badly affected by the tribal clashes in 1992 and while they have a church building there are only 4 families. They have mass once a month on Sunday

Other areas where communities are beginning but they have no buildings and not regular mass are Enkorika and Kisharu.

In Najile there is a boys boarding school and mass is held once a month.

In all the areas there are catechists (religion teachers), three full time, three part time volunteers, they give regular teaching to those who are preparing for the sacraments and also hold para liturgical services on the Sundays when there is no priest present.
