Kenyan Bishop visits Sisters

St. Mary-on-the-Lake community with Bishop Dominic Kimengich

The sisters at St. Mary-on-the-Lake in Bellevue, Washington welcomed Bishop Dominic Kimengich from the Diocese of Eldoret, Kenya on Saturday, July 13th. The Bishop celebrated liturgy with the community.

Sister Chero Chuma, CSJP, who comes from Eldoret, shared:

“The first thing he said when we got to the property was, ‘This is paradise...how do you thank God for this beautiful place?’ He enjoyed every minute of his time with the community- lunch, conversation after lunch, liturgy celebration, and evening meal. His longing to meet the Sisters was fulfilled, and he promised to return.”

Seattle was Bishop Kimengich’s first stop on his pastoral visit to the United States. He will be visiting the Kenyan community in San Diego, Kansas City, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, and Michigan.
