In peace and joy.
The annual assembly of CLM Kenya was held from the 8th to the 11th of January. On Thursday, CLM members and candidates arrived to begin a time of meeting, prayer, and reflection.
The assembly began with a short reflection led by Alberto de la Portilla, which helped introduce us to the spirit of the gathering and focus on our mission and responsibilities. This was followed by an evaluation of the year 2025 according to the different huduma (i.e. in swahili, groups in charge of different “services”, like communications, formation, etc), as well as a presentation of the roles and responsibilities of both the outgoing and new huduma, which helped us better understand the tasks and services within our community.
Another point on the program was the reading and amendment of the charter of CLM Kenya. Working in groups according to each huduma, we also undertook planning for the year 2026, sharing ideas, experiences, and expectations for the future.
After the presentation of the plans for 2026, we had a social evening that took place in an atmosphere of joy, mutual kindness, and fraternal community. It was a moment of strengthening relationships and sharing ourselves in a simple and warm way.
At the conclusion of the assembly, a final presentation and evaluation of the entire meeting took place. Father Maciej led the closing prayer and gave us his blessing, strengthening us for our continued journey of service and mission. After this spiritual conclusion, we all returned to our respective communities, enriched by the shared time and experience.
