Dear Friends, I invite you to join me in thanking our God for all of his blessings and goodness. Our paths meet at very difficult and uncertain times: we pray and hope for the best as we embark on this journey of faith together. God is good; all the time! All the time; God is good! Even in bad days, God is good!
When I was ordained 10 years ago, I chose as my spiritual motto the words from Psalm 89:2 – “I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations.” At that time, I never thought that I will be in your midst this time and moment sharing with you God’s love and making known his faithfulness to you. Truly, God has been so faithful and He will always be faithful – no doubt about that – and I can assure you that He is not done with us! It is not by chance that our paths meet - it is God’s plan and all we can say is “God's will be done in and through every step we take.”
I was born and raised in Kenya: I am ninth in a family of thirteen. I am a member of Franciscan Missionaries of Hope (a.k.a. Lyke Community) – a Religious Order that was founded in Nairobi, Kenya.
I believe that God called me to be a happy priest and to responsibly enjoy the good things He created for His glory. So far, so good! I enjoy eating good food and I am not afraid of trying new foods. Vegetables, fruits, fish, and sweet potatoes are my favorites. Occasionally, meats also grace my dining table. It is not easy to name all the foods I like but as I said, I am not afraid of trying. If it is edible, I will try it.
I enjoy good music; it relaxes me. I also enjoy riding my bike, movies, running, watching sports such as basketball, soccer, football, Olympics, and (my all-time favorite) professional wrestling. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, making new friends, and seeing places. I love Jesus! I love people! I love nature!
As I conclude, I sincerely thank Bishop Francis Malone for giving me this opportunity to serve you. I see myself as a shepherd and I believe that together, under the care of the Good Shepherd, we will soar to greater heights of spirit-filled lives. Together we will continue our journey of faith and love, and I pray that we will all have many happy and blessed moments. It is a journey for a mission! I really look forward to making the next steps of life together with you. One love!
It is with great joy that I write these words. I am happy and excited to be here at Jesus the Good Shepherd Parish and School. It is awesome!
May the good Lord bless you! I wish you and your families God’s protection and peace as we battle this pandemic courageously - without giving up hope! Together, we shall get there!
