On 20 August 2022, over 300 Catholic Justice and Peace Department (CJPD) Commissioners from various catholic churches in the Ngong Diocese converged at St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral in Ngong for the annual Catholic Diocese of Ngong CJPD Commissioners Mass. The event featured participation from over 30 parishes in the diocese. Ngong Diocese is home to 37 Parishes which are clustered in five deaneries : Kilgoris, Narok, Ngong, Kajiado and Oloitokitok.
The main celebrant of the Holy mass was Bishop John Oballa Owaa the Bishop of Ngong Catholic Diocese. The special day featured entertainment by the Kajiado deanery CJPD choir led by Sts. John and Sylvia Parish and St. Monica Parish and a tree planting exercise to commemorate the day.
Here are some vide and photo highlights to give you a quick glimpse of what happened during the great occasion.
