On September 29th, the faithful members of the St. Raphael community gathered to celebrate the Feast Day of their beloved patron saint. This year, the celebration took place at the home of one of their dedicated members. The parish priests, along with other esteemed clergy, were invited to join in commemorating this special day.
The celebration was a resounding success, filled with prayer, reflection, and a sense of unity among the attendees. The members were divided into three groups based on their proximity: the residents near the police station, the Muigai Lower Group, and the Muigai Upper Group.
The highlight of the day was the presence of the invited guests from South C, St. Anthony of Padua Jumuiya, whose words of wisdom and spirituality added a special touch to this memorable occasion.

Our Lady of Divine Mercy Shrine Choir Shines at Deanery Music Festivals.
In a harmonious crescendo of voices, Our Lady of Divine Mercy Shrine Choir from ACACIA Parish joined forces with five other choirs to grace the stage of the Deanery Music Festivals hosted at St. John Catholic Church in Kajiado. A united representation of four Parish outstations – Sts. John & Sylvia, St. Oscar-Matali, St. Cecilia-Enkasiti, and St. Charles Lwanga-Kimalat – the choir’s performance echoed the spirit of unity in diversity.Stepping onto the festival stage for the very first time, the choir embraced the Bronze Category, presenting their musical prowess across three distinct categories.
Their entrancing rendition of “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” not only resonated with the audience but also secured them the prestigious 1st place in the set piece category. Their original composition “Sinodi Nguzo Yetu” captivated hearts, commemorating the Year of the Synod with a powerful portrayal of Communion, Participation, and Mission. The enchanting Sekwensia Song “Uje Roho Mtakatifu,” harmoniously arranged in “Tumshangilie Bwana,” saw them once again emerge as the triumphant 1st place winners in the third category.Guided by Director Mr. Raphael Kimeu, the choir’s stellar performance propelled them to the apex of the Bronze Class, propelling them onward to the forthcoming Diocesan Festivals scheduled for August 26, 2023.
With a commitment to growth, the choir attentively absorbed the adjudicator’s insights, embracing opportunities for refinement. Organising Secretary Ms. Lydia Nekesa proudly accepted the accolade for Best Choir overall, graciously presented by Fr. Gabriel Matata of Namanga Parish.
In a chorus of applause and jubilation, hearty congratulations resounded for Our Lady of Divine Mercy Shrine Choir from ACACIA Parish. As the echoes of celebration reverberate, the choir’s melodious journey marches on, promising future musical brilliance. Let the jubilant melodies continue, and as they share their harmonious gifts, we extend our heartfelt wishes for their continued success.
