Official Visit to the SDC Ruiru (Kenya)
14 April, 2026
The Superior General, together with his assistant, visited the SDC centre of Ruiru, Kenya, between 30 March and 11 April 2026. During this visit, they had the opportunity to take part in the special celebrations held by all SDC centres during Holy Week. These prayerful and reflective celebrations were written by the Founder, St George Preca, to instil in participants the spirit of Jesus, particularly through reflection on the Crucified Christ as both Saviour and Master of all humanity.
On Easter Sunday, 12 April, at the conclusion of a joyful celebration enriched with Kenyan Easter hymns, the Superior General distributed a figolla in the shape of a lamb to all attendees. This was received with great joy.
The SDC members, candidates, and elects of the Ruiru centre warmly welcomed the visitors and took the opportunity to meet them and share their joy. Superior General and Assistant Superior General met with each group during the Easter Octave to share their reflections.
During the visit, a meeting was also held with the children and teenagers of Kiratina. Kiratina is an outstation, dedicated to St George Preca, with which the SDC Centre of Ruiru has already established a connection and is assisting by providing catechetical sessions for children and young people. Let us pray that this apostolate in Kiratina will flourish and that the presence of the SDC will become ever more firmly established.
