In 2013, the family of the late John Kariuki donated two acres of land in  acacia area, Kitengela  to Saint Monica Church, Kitengela. At this time, the church was struggling with congestion and the church could not be expanded further to accommodate new parishioners in the growing Kitengela town.

This  was the starting point for the dream of developing an outstation for St. Monica with a vision of decongesting the church.

A Steering Committee composed of the Development and Finance Committees, was tasked to spearhead this project. The development committee came up with the Master Plan and the Architectural drawings for the Church. 

The Steering committee strategized on resource mobilisation initiatives to realise the Kes. 40 million (40,00 USD) indicated as the initial cost of construction works.

These strategies included: 

1. Harambees – The church conducted 3 major harambees. The first harambee was conducted on 10th November 2013. The second on  8th February 2015 and the third on 8th May 2016. All the harambees were preceded by pledge.
2. A dinner event.
3. Thanks giving contributions during major events of the parish including the St. Monica day celebrations and the groundbreaking mass.

These strategies resulted in generous contributions of parishioners  in cash and kind. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mwangi is recognised as a great contributor to the success of our Harambees for donating grand prize items for our raffles being 2 pieces of  land and a motorbike.

The Ground breaking ceremony and Mass was conducted on 8th February 2015 and  presided over by the then SMA Superior Father Thadeus.

The Steering committee, cognisant of the long term plans of building a church found it necessary to scout for more land to accommodate that vision.

Once again the family of the Late John Kariuki  came through by graciously offering to sell 2.25 Acres adjacent to the initial donated land.  This acquisition of the land was financed through a loan from Waumini Sacco that was fully repaid by March 2019.

The plans to complete and consecrate the church by April 2020 were upset by the Covid-19 pandemic containment measures instituted in March 2020.

The reopening of the Churches, with the stringent social distancing requirements, prompted the celebration of Mass at the church to accommodate more parishioners.
