Jubilee of Mercy with Sant'Egidio in Nakuru and Eldoret, Kenya

 
printable version
In the event of the Jubilee of Mercy, in the past days the communities of Sant'Egidio of Kenya passed through the Holy Door in the towns of Nakuru and Eldoret with many poor friends: the children of the School of Peace together with the elderly, the sick and other friends. 

In Nakuru a group of street boys friends to the Community prepared and clothed themselves for the occasion; the joy for the waited event caused other street boys to join the feast and the mass with the passage through the Holy Door, in front of the astonished parish members. 
At the end of the afternoon spent together, one of them said: "I wasn't aware that going to church was that beautiful, I want to come always back here!"
