SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST.

SOLEMNITY OF THE MOST HOLY BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST.
The Feast of Corpus Christi is commonly used as an opportunity for public Eucharistic processions, which serves as a sign of common faith and adoration. Our worship of Jesus in His Body and Blood calls us to offer to God our Father a pledge of undivided love and an offering of ourselves to the service of others.

There is no better country than the other, no tribe better than the other. Everyone of us is a child of God. No one chose to be born where we were born. But we all realize, wherever we are, what unites us is the power to make us children of God. God loves us the way we are, where we are, what we are. He wants to save us the way we are – The Bishop of Kakamega, Rt. Rev. Joseph Obanyi Sagwe during the launch of the 2023 Lenten Campaign at St. Peter’s Minor Seminary Mukumu.
