Pauline Sisters Mark 50 Years in Kenya, Renew Commitment to Evangelization through Communication

The Daughters of St. Paul celebrated 50 years of presence in Kenya during a Golden Jubilee on October 25 at their community in the Archdiocese of Nairobi.

The congregation arrived in Nairobi on February 15, 1976, following an invitation from Maurice Michael Cardinal Otunga to operate the diocesan bookshop. Sister Mari Lucia Kim, the Superior General of the Rome-based congregation, expressed gratitude for the sisters' work using books, audio-visual tools, and the internet to share the Gospel. Sister Kim noted that the Nairobi community has since expanded to become a provincial house.

Sister Janet Angala, the Provincial Superior for Eastern Africa, Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, read the Superior General's speech. The address highlighted the sisters' service in distributing various editions of the Bible, including the African Bible edition.
