VOCATION's Sunday

Today the World celebrates various vocations. Our case here, there's a great need to foster and nurture the priestly and religious vocations. Yes, the Church advocates for matrimony and treasure the role those in marriage play to sustain the Church. The Church is aware of the challenges couples face and especially the young couples. This comes at a time when news of homicides and suicide among couples albecones rampart. The Church calls for patience and understanding to those facing difficulties. 

Why do we need priests? Through the sacred orders, the faithful who form the member of the Church are called to celebrate their marriage and actively participate in the Eucharistic banquet.

Priests in 21st century are under pressure: challenges coming from economic, ecological, cultural, among other threats to Christian faith in the development communities.

This year, vocations Sunday comes in a time when the KCCB ( Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops) advocates need to educate seminarians allover the country. Lead by the chairman of Seminary Episcopal Conference: Rt. Rev. Maurice Muhatia Makumba and other four Rectors of National Seminaries, they have started a Project of self sustainance called SEMINARY ENDOWMENT FUND. This project will see that Kenya Seminaries are independent and generate income of their own. Faithful are called to support seminarians when they approach them for assistance towards this project via Paybill.

As we celebrate this day: we pray that the good Lord may send many young men and women in his vineyard. A time to remember all who are in Matrimony, priestly and religious vocations.
