The Easter celebration of the Comboni Lay Missionaries was amazing. It was held in Kitelakapel international community, in Kenya. We were joined by other CLM members and candidates from Nairobi. On Monday our dearest pope Francis passed away. We pray for his eternal rest and for all our Catholic church. Let’s be united in prayer. [CLM Kenya]
