In Embu, the much-anticipated ordination of the new Catholic bishop took place, with Fr. Kimani being appointed as the fourth bishop of the Embu Diocese.
This event was significant not only for the local community but also for the broader Kenyan Catholic population.
Fr. Kimani has a long history of service, including his pastoral work with prisoners and his academic achievements, which have prepared him to lead the diocese with a focus on serving marginalized communities.
The ordination ceremony was an opportunity for religious leaders, dignitaries, and the faithful to gather and celebrate the new bishop’s appointment.
This marks a pivotal moment for the Catholic Church in Embu as Fr. Kimani takes on this leadership role following the retirement of Bishop Paul Kariuki Njiru.
The event also underscored the ongoing importance of spiritual leadership within the church and its commitment to guiding communities through both personal and societal challenges.
The presence of key figures in the Catholic hierarchy, including those involved in Fr. Kimani’s appointment, made this a momentous occasion for both the faithful and the community at large.
