Second Carmelite Monastery Founded in Kenya

The monastery of Carmelite nuns in Valls (Tarragona), Spain, began a new foundation in Kenya this past April.

The superior of the foundation, Sr. Joaquina Valls, 83 years old, and the nuns wrote in August "After the 13th of this month (August) we are in a rented house with a small chapel and have all that is necessary. We are located in the town of Juja, in the Archdiocese of Nairobi, some 11 km away from where it is planned to build "Carmel of the Mother of God." The parish priest of Juja Farm, which is where our house will be built, wants to build a simple but secure house alongside the current parish. It would be touching the parish where we could be spiritually assisted. Our sisters in Machakos have been marvelous with us. How good they have been! We have experienced that it is a true fellowship. They have been true collaborators in this intention of a foundation.

The address of the new monastery is: Carmelite Nuns; PO Box 361, 01001; Juja Farm; Kalimoni-Kenya
