Dear CIC Member
Reopening of places of worship and public celebration of Mass
Following the presidential directive that places of worship will commence phased re-opening for congregational worship in strict conformity of guidelines and protocols developed by the Inter-Faith Council and Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), we are working closely with St Austin’s Parish and Loreto Msongari to comply with the directives and reopen for worship in due course. Meanwhile St. Austin’s have nine Masses this Sunday 19 July 2020 in the Halls next to the Church(currently under renovation), each for a maximum of 100 persons. Masses are also held daily at 7.00am and 5.45pm for a maximum of 100 persons. CIC members are invited to attend these Services. Please ensure you arrive well before the start of Mass to complete the necessary protocols.

We are pleased to advise that with the Blessings of the Parish and the cooperation of St. Patricks’ Chapel, we will live stream on Zoom a virtual Mass from St Patrick’s this and every Sunday. It will also be available live on Youtube.
You are kindly requested to switch off your video, as it is distracting to others participation in the Mass.

An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus,
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
CIC Whatsapp Group
We have set up a group in order to reach a wider spectrum of our members, some of whom do not receive the bulletin. It is a group for information only. We would like your individual permission in order to add your name to the group. Kindly email(to this address) or whats app any member of the Leadership team.

Even though we are not able to hold our regular services, we are still incurring some operating costs and the parish and diocesan contributions need to be made. Most importantly, in these challenging times, our Community Concerns Fund has even greater need for our contributions.
Please try and sustain your regular offering
SACRAMENTS/PRE-CONFIRMATION CLASSES
We would like to thank in a very special way, our volunteer teachers – Nthenya, Carla, David, Monisha and Peter for their valuable time and services in having online classes for the Sacraments and Pre-Confirmation Classes. Following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s address to the Nation on the 6th of July, the restriction of children below the age of 13 years, not being permitted to attend Mass, and no Sunday School Classes, online classes will be the new normal. There is also uncertainty of when the Children registered for First Holy Communion and Confirmation will actually receive these Sacraments, however when the situation normalizes, and the children are prepared, after completing the respective syllabuses, a decision on dates can be made instantly. Our teachers will communicate with Parents directly with regard to the time frame for online classes.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank both the Parents and the children for registering for online classes.
Stay safe. Stay healthy
