 The diocese has a plan for the shrine of Padre Pio....outside the Town on the top of the Hill.....in this area there are four substations belonging to the Parish.....the diocese has land.....the plan is ready and the friars will be asked to look after,,,,,


 welcome tea and coffee.....this area produces tea.....it weather is cold here
 The parish church is big enough......

 This friary is in the Diocese of Kitale....it was owned by the Cambonian's who left and handed over to the diocese. The diocese looked after for about two years and found difficult to manage it so invited the Capuchins since last January. There are two friars and two guest friars....one is a deacon and one is preparing to go to Papua New Gineua  
 The number of daily Mass comers is on the increase the friars are available and very serviceable to the people,,,,there are 700 families with 18 substations....where the friars go to serve the people....
 There is small school run by the diocese but sisters are looking after the school....
 This is a primary school.....
 The new fraternity....young and energetic......vegetables are cultivated by the friars....
