Kenya

Holy Cross Missionaries arrived in Kenya from Uganda in 1978, and that same year they established Holy Cross Parish in Dandora. Today, Holy Cross Parish remains the center of the ministerial work of the Congregation in Kenya and stands as an oasis of hope amidst the squalor and despair of the Dandora slum. 

Kenya is also the home to McCauley Formation House, which is the formation house for the Congregation’s many professed seminarians and brothers in East Africa, which also includes Uganda and Tanzania. The Holy Cross mission in East Africa was raised to Province status in 2023.

In this reflection, Mr. Stéfan Thériault, a longtime collaborator of Holy Cross and current Director of Le Pèlerin in Montreal, writes about how his encounter with St. Josephled me to the Dream of God for my life and to live this experience of Annunciation in me where I must let the Son be born.”
