the daughters of charity news
On 28th October 2025 the two Missions of Kenya and Tanzania will merge to become the new Region of East Africa. Mass was celebrated to mark this wonderful new, life-giving venture in the history of the Company in East Africa. Sister Françoise Petit, (Superioress General) Sister Julie Kubasak and Sister Theresa Eke (General Councillors)travelled to Kenya for the celebrations. The Kenya Mission, as part of the Irish Province, was established in 2002 and Tanzania, as part of the Province of Congo, was established in 2006. Kenya has 7 local communities and 40 sisters. Tanzania has 9 sisters and two local communities. Earlier this year Sr Francoise Petit, Superioress General, initiated dialogue and consultation with all the sisters in Tanzania and Kenya. It was agreed that a new Region should be established as part of the Irish Province. This new region will be under the patronage of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Recently, after consultation, Sr Liz Smith was appointed as the new Regional Superior for the Region of East Africa . Sr. Lawrencilla Kiambi, Sr Josephine Kimeu, Sr Irene Okumu and Sr Stella Maris Mgaya William are the new councillors.
