Kenyan bishops emphasise collective responsibility to transform nation

Feb 28, 2025

NAIROBI: Ahead of the 2025 Lenten season starting on March 5, Catholic Bishops in Kenya have called on Christians to work together and be agents of transformation in society. The theme for the 40-day journey is The Kenya We Desire, encouraging a focus on the collective good, justice, and compassion for all, regardless of background or status.

The bishops emphasised that the Christian call goes beyond spiritual reflection, urging practical action against corruption, inequality, and injustice. They also invited Catholics to reflect on five key areas: family unity, corruption, youth potential, education, and environmental care, with a focus on healing, unity, and actively seeking the nation’s welfare. --Vatican News
