ALMSGIVING UPDATE

$248,497.oo

The Amount we raised

The Goal

The Goal

Last Lent we raised funds through our Almsgiving campaign to build a Woodworking facility at our seminary in Kenya, Africa. After frustrating delays in acquiring permits from the government, they have finally broke ground!

As promised, we will update you with images and videos as the building progresses toward the completion date in July 2026.

Finally!

Getting permits and permissions from the government in Nairobi to build is a daunting task. But after months of submitting requests, they finally received the requisite permissions to break ground. The Woodworking facility will train poor and underprivileged youth in a trade that can help them secure a future and move out of poverty. It is being erected on the grounds of the Vincentian seminary just outside Nairobi.

Here we go!

A short video

It's not the best cinematography and there's lots of shaking since they filmed it with a phone.... but you'll get the idea. The excitement and joy are palpable as you can see from their faces!

We'll let you know when new images/videos are available as the building rises!
