Is the gift of Fraternity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Kenya mission, we MFM missionaries have the joy of providing pastoral care at St. Jude Parish, which belongs to Garissa Diocese, Bura Tana County in Eastern Kenya. Currently, three priests are working in this parish: <strong>Fr. Rolando Choc Matzir, pastor;\u00a0 and two parochial vicars: Fr. Jos\u00e9 Ernesto Yoc \u00c1vila and Fr. Eddy Leopoldo Miguel Ixmat\u00e1 Saloj.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our parochial work extends to seven small communities: <strong>St. Mary, St. Paul, St. Thomas, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joseph, St. Anthony, and St. Stephen<\/strong>. Each Sunday, with enthusiasm and joy, we travel to each community to celebrate the Eucharist with them, bringing the presence of Christ and strengthening the life of faith in each of them. At the parish church &#8211; St. Jude Thaddeus- the Eucharistic celebration is done daily; hence, it is the source and summit of our pastoral life.(Vatican II, Sacrosanctum Concilium 10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Community life is also strengthened through three small communities that meet during the week to share <strong><em>Lectio Divina<\/em><\/strong>, pray the Holy Rosary, and have a room for encountering the Word of God, prayer, and fraternity. At the end of each month, we celebrate the Eucharist in the venue where these communities meet: Jumuiya St. Peter, Jumuiya St. Mary Help of Christians and Jumuiya St. Bakhita. (Jumuiya is a Kiswahili word for: Small Christian Community).<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8613 .fg-image { width: 270px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-8613 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foogallery fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-light fg-shadow-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-preset fg-brad fg-preset-small fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-8613\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;panel&quot;:{&quot;buttons&quot;:{&quot;download&quot;:false}},&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" data-foogallery-lightbox=\"{&quot;thumbs&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;thumbsCaptions&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsBestFit&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsSmall&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsCaptionsAlign&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;info&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;infoVisible&quot;:true,&quot;infoOverlay&quot;:true,&quot;infoAlign&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;hoverButtons&quot;:false,&quot;fitMedia&quot;:false,&quot;noScrollbars&quot;:true,&quot;preserveButtonSpace&quot;:true,&quot;buttons&quot;:{&quot;fullscreen&quot;:true,&quot;info&quot;:true,&quot;thumbs&quot;:false,&quot;download&quot;:false},&quot;video&quot;:{&quot;autoPlay&quot;:true}}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 1; --fg-description-line-clamp: 2;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionaryfraternityofmary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Four-missionaries-in-Kenya_.jpg\" data-caption-title=\"Currently, three priests are working in this parish where Fr.

These encountering moments allow children, young people, and adults to receive comprehensive training\/formation aimed at human and spiritual growth, Christian commitment, and service to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special room within our mission is held by St. Jude Parish School, accompanied by the religious sisters assigned by their superior and ratified by the ordinary Bishop, George Muthaka, OFM, Cap. As priests, we have the opportunity to accompany the entire educational community, especially through the celebration of the Eucharist done in\u00a0 Kiswahili or English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school is also a beautiful testimony to coexistence and fraternity. In its classrooms, Christian and Muslim children share everyday life. This reality invites us to build bridges, overcome every form of discrimination, and discover in the other person a brother or sister. In this way, the school becomes not only a room for academic learning but also a place where respect, friendship, solidarity and fraternity are cultivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our mission in Kenya is, above all, an experience of <strong>encounter<\/strong>: encounter with God, with the communities and with a culture that teaches us new ways of living the faith each day. Through the Eucharist, listening to the Word of God, training and pastoral accompaniment, we seek to journey with the people entrusted to us, sharing their joys, hopes and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-8614 .fg-image { width: 270px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-8614 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foogallery fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-light fg-shadow-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-preset fg-brad fg-preset-small fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-8614\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;panel&quot;:{&quot;buttons&quot;:{&quot;download&quot;:false}},&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" data-foogallery-lightbox=\"{&quot;thumbs&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;thumbsCaptions&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsBestFit&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsSmall&quot;:false,&quot;thumbsCaptionsAlign&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;info&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;infoVisible&quot;:true,&quot;infoOverlay&quot;:true,&quot;infoAlign&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;hoverButtons&quot;:false,&quot;fitMedia&quot;:false,&quot;noScrollbars&quot;:true,&quot;preserveButtonSpace&quot;:true,&quot;buttons&quot;:{&quot;fullscreen&quot;:true,&quot;info&quot;:true,&quot;thumbs&quot;:false,&quot;download&quot;:false},&quot;video&quot;:{&quot;autoPlay&quot;:true}}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 1; --fg-description-line-clamp: 2;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionaryfraternityofmary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Kenya-Fr.-Julio-Antonio-Rodriguez-with-St.-Francis_-Children_-scaled.jpg\" data-caption-title=\"Fr.
