Parish News & Blog
Welcome to the News & Blog section of St. Charles Lwanga Parish! This vibrant space captures the heartbeat of our community through stories, reflections, and updates that showcase our faith in action. Our posts chronicle the diverse activities, celebrations, and outreach efforts that define our parish life in Muyeye, fostering connection and inspiration for all. From liturgical feasts to grassroots initiatives, these articles reflect our Jesuit-inspired mission of unity, service, and spiritual growth, inviting readers to engage with our journey.
Our blog features a rich tapestry of content, including recaps of major liturgical events like the Feast of St. Charles Lwanga or St. Ignatius of Loyola, where Masses, cultural performances, and communal meals unite parishioners in joy and gratitude. We highlight sacramental milestones, such as Confirmations, where youth embrace their faith, or the induction of new Catholic Women Association members, celebrating their commitment to service. Outstation celebrations, like St. Josephine Bakhita’s feast at Mayungu, blend local traditions with spiritual depth, often featuring pilgrimages, vibrant liturgies, and fellowship by the beach.
Community outreach shines through stories of youth visiting children’s homes, sharing games and supplies, or tree-planting drives during the Season of Creation, embodying Laudato Si’s call to environmental stewardship. Educational efforts, such as the Aquiline Tarimo Jesuit School’s term closings, showcase our commitment to nurturing young minds with faith and learning. We also share strategic milestones, like the 2023–2028 Strategic Plan launch, outlining our vision for catechesis, self-reliance, and interfaith harmony.
Reflective posts, such as Lenten recollections, detail moments of spiritual renewal through prayer, confession, and Ignatian meditation, encouraging personal growth. Testimonies from parishioners—elders, youth, or converts—highlight transformed lives, while interfaith collaborations, like aiding flood-affected neighbors, underscore our commitment to universal charity. Each post, infused with Swahili hymns, local cuisine, or Ignatian themes, mirrors our multi-ethnic, coastal Kenyan identity.
For real-time updates, our Facebook page offers photos and brief notices, while the weekly bulletin provides schedules. This blog, however, dives deeper, weaving narratives that preserve our parish’s legacy and invite participation. Whether it’s a youth skit, a CWA charity project, or a quiet moment at the Marian Grotto, these stories aim to inspire and connect our community, near and far.
We welcome your voices—share your testimony or ideas with the Communications Committee. Together, as one family in Christ, we chronicle our journey for God’s greater glory, living out St. Charles Lwanga’s legacy of courage and faith.
