Every year, at the beginning of an academic year, the religious priests, brothers and sisters from Madagascar living and working in Nairobi, Kenya meet. This year, 2009, the meeting was held in the community of the Franciscans known as OFM (FRERES MINEURS) in Karen on Sunday 13th September 2009.
As usual, Eucharistic celebration was the first community activity. During mass, the community prayed for the success of the new academic year and for God’s blessing upon the new members of the association. Before the final blessing, the President of the association thanked everyone for their participation and wished good bye to one of the members who will leave Nairobi for another mission in Madagascar.
