In an atmosphere worthy of the great feast days, yesterday
we celebrated the blessing and official opening of the Don Orione of Nairobi
Chapel.
The joy was at its height in the Scholasticate Don Orione of
Nairobi Langata South Road. His Excellency Bishop Charles Balvo, Apostolic
Nuncio of Kenya was there for the dedication of the altar and the blessing of
the chapel. Surrounded by family, friends and faithful Christians from Nairobi,
Kandisi and Kaburugi, this ceremony was also wanted to be the official
celebration of the Orionine Missionary Year here in Kenya.
Have made the trip to attend this event, Father Malcolm
George Dyer and Father Joseph Vallauri pioneer of the Orionine Mission in
Kenya.
In their various speeches, Father Paul Mboche, Joseph
Vallauri, Malcolm Dyer and Bishop Charles Balvo have constantly given thanks to
God for this day and say a sincere thank you to all those, benefactors from
here and elsewhere , workers and everyone who worked to make possible the
construction of this new chapel.
After the beautiful Eucharistic celebration, the first in
this building, presided by the Apostolic Nuncio, a fraternal meal was shared
with all those who have attended the event.

the chapel and its surroundings.
Our gratitude and prayers to our benefactors: Mrs Jean
