First Holy Communion (Ruiru)
07 June, 2026
On Sunday, 7 June 2026, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi was marked with the celebration of First Holy Communion at St Francis of Assisi Parish in Ruiru, Kenya.
Among the children, a total of 68 boys and girls received the Sacrament of the Eucharist for the first time following a period of preparation and catechetical formation undertaken at the SDC centre of Ruiru. Through this formation, the children were helped to deepen their understanding of the Eucharist and to prepare themselves spiritually for this important milestone in their Christian lives.
The celebration was a joyful occasion for the children, their families, catechists and the parish community, who gathered together to give thanks to God and to accompany the children as they took this significant step in their journey of faith.
