A Fruitful Start to 2025: Reflections on Our Annual Assembly in Kenya

2025 began on a high note with our annual assembly, which took place from Thursday 9th through Sunday 12th January. It was a time of deep reflection, evaluation, and planning as we looked back on the past year and prepared for the journey ahead.

Training moments

Throughout the assembly, we assessed our activities, formation meetings, and the service we carried out. We also reviewed and updated our charter, ensuring it continues to guide us effectively in our mission. Additionally, we evaluated our financial report and laid out concrete plans for the year 2025.

A particularly special moment was the celebration of our members who are preparing for their mission experience in Kitelakapel. Their commitment is a beautiful witness to the call we all share—to go forth and proclaim the Gospel.

The cakes were from the Kitelakapel community to thank the CLM of Kenya for their support, and to welcome the new CLM preparing for mission and who would later join us in Kitelakapel for their community experience.

What stood out most about this assembly was the sense of shared responsibility and the desire for growth. It was inspiring to see how deeply each member is involved in shaping the future of our mission. The emphasis on formation, service, and careful planning shows a strong commitment not just to action, but to sustainable and meaningful missionary work.

New coordinating team

Among the plans for 2025, a key focus is on supporting those preparing for mission abroad and ensuring they are well-equipped spiritually and practically. There is also a strong commitment to strengthening our local initiatives, improving how we accompany communities, and fostering deeper missionary engagement.

As we step into this new year, we pray for God’s abundant blessings upon our mission. May He guide our steps and strengthen our resolve. And may our beloved Saint—Daniel Comboni—intercede for us as we continue to walk in faith and service.
