An update from His Grace, Bishop Neofitos of Nyeri and Mount Kenya, December 27, 2020:
"The blessing and opening of the St. George today (December 25, 2020)! What a joy we experienced today. Everyone is grateful and thankful to God! Thank you Father James Retelas and the faithful of the Annunciation Parish-Sacramento."
The construction of the St. George Orthodox Church in Laikipia has been made possible by YOUR prayers and support of the work and Church in Bishop Neofitos's diocese.
