New Inter-Institutional Chaplaincy Launched in Eldoret to Strengthen Youth Spiritual Formation

A landmark initiative aimed at fostering spiritual growth and unity among students in Eldoret has been unveiled following the official inauguration of St. Leo the Great Chaplaincy, a multi-institutional Catholic chaplaincy serving higher learning institutions across the town.

The inauguration ceremony, held at Eldoret National Polytechnic, was presided over by the Eldoret Diocese Catholic Bishop Dominic Kimengich, who led a Holy Mass before officially commissioning the chaplaincy. The new initiative brings together students and staff from a wide network of institutions, including Eldoret National Polytechnic, Rift Valley Technical Training Institute (RVTTI), Moi University School of Medicine, Mount Kenya University, and the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), among others.

Speaking during the event, the Chief Principal of Eldoret National Polytechnic, Dr. Charles Koech, expressed pride in hosting what he described as a transformative program for young people in the region.

“We are honored to host this important initiative that goes beyond academic excellence. As institutions of higher learning, we are not only tasked with equipping students intellectually, but also morally and spiritually. This chaplaincy will play a critical role in shaping responsible, ethical, and well-rounded individuals,” Dr. Koech said.
