Church Building - KenyaCharity is an indispensable expression of the Church, an expression of a love that seeks the integral good of a man. Recognizing the need of this expression in places where poverty rules, CPS has decided to continue her work with the Missionary Community of St. Paul the Apostle (MCSPA) in support of their pastoral work. Earlier in 2005, the CPS congregation contributed to the construction of Natoo Dam, a rock dam at Natoo River in the southern half of Lowarengak Parish. The fulfillment of the project benefited the fundamental needs of more than 2,000 people and their livestock. Now, CPS is embarking on a project for the spiritual well-being of a community in Wadach, Turkana.
Wadach village is located about 85 km from Lodwar town, and by the shore of Lake Turkana. This is an outstation of the St. Augustine's Cathedral, Diocese of Lodwar. Most of the people here have been baptised within the last 5 years. There are about 80 families in the area, with an average of 6 in a family. There is a teacher stationed by the parish at Wadach to run the nutritional unit. A borehole with a hand pump was sunk at Wadach by the parish in 2002. There is also a catechist who visits the families there every week. A priest from the Cathedral comes for mass every fortnight, and this is celebrated in the shade of a tree. To our delight, the first-generation Christians of the area have asked for the construction of a house of prayer for the people of Wadach. This reflects an intrinsic need in these pastoralist and nomadic families of communion with the divine.
