News from Embulbul’s Community

Our community is located at Embulbul village, under the Catholic Diocese of Ngong, along the Great Rift Valley within Kajiado County in Kenya. It consists of nine flexible and original members who are faithful to the charism of our Institute, which consists in the ministry of loving God and doing good exercised through corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
Our dedication to Jesus our spouse prompts our love of prayer in all aspects of our life. We begin each day by praying the Liturgy of the hours. This is followed by daily Mass. The fruit of our prayer life is what we carry out into our ministries.

Rubattians
This is a group of lay men and women that live as committed Christians who follow in the footsteps of Mother Francesca Rubatto. From the very beginning of the Institute, Mother Francesca aroused within the laity the wish to share with them her charism, even though would remain in their lay state within the Church, thus the group was formed on the 9th of August 2009. They share in our charism which is adoring God in the Eucharist and serving the needy in fulfilling God’s will.
Our project
When COVID 19 pandemic came dumping the hopes of many into barren wasteland, we embarked on a new apostolate of making masks and donating them to the needy. Since we could not continue with some of our businesses as usual due to the virus, we directed our efforts towards our beadwork and soap making project.
Youths
The youths are the church of today and tomorrow. Working with them we cultivate in Christian values that help them to be better Christians. We share the gospel with them and encourage them to have a lasting encounter with Jesus Christ.
