All from Kenya, have been invited to this first session of the academic year 2013-2014 which is from Monday to Saturday. Six days are devoted to them to enable them to rub closer our Orionine reality but also enable us to discover them, who knows, maybe tomorrow one of them will felt called by the Lord and would decide to follow him in our religious family.

Deacon Morris Mawira Gichia first in charge of this session did not fail to involve almost all of us in the animation. Thus, after the word of welcome and the inaugural meeting with Father Paul Mboche on the evening of Monday, on Tuesday, they were introduced to the different topics of this vocational meeting.

The first topic was presented, Tuesday morning by Deacon Morris himself. This first meeting focused on "The Life of Don Orione". In the afternoon of Tuesday, they were invited to join our young in philosophy for the manual work.

The day of yesterday, Wednesday was dedicated to the prayer. So in the morning, they were maintained by Father Mboche on the theme of the Prayer.

In the afternoon, with Deacon Morris, they tried to see how to pray the breviary.

This Thursday morning, with Father Peter Wambulwa Parish Priest of the Holy Spirit Parish of Kandisi they reflected on "Charity in the life of Don Orione". In the afternoon, they will be led by Father Raphael Kailemiah Parish Priest of Saint Peter of Kaburugi to extend their reflection on the topic of "Community Life".

Friday morning, with Father Stan GBEISSAY, ​​they will be led to the discovery of the place of "the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Life of Don Orione". And in the afternoon of that Friday, they will still rub again with our philosophy students in manual work. After this time of manual work, a moment of individual meeting with the Fathers and Deacon Morris will be offered to them, and an assessment and report on the session in the evening.

On Saturday morning, this "Come and see" session will be ended with the Holy Mass in honour of the Virgin Mary, Mother of Vocations.
