We have a new Superior General of the Apostles of Jesus!
As many of you know, the Regional Delegates of Apostles of Jesus recently met to elect the Superior General of the Order.
The position of Superior General is held for six years and our previous Superior General, Very Rev. Augustine Njuu had made great progress during the past term. We are grateful for the twenty-one ministries of the Apostles of Jesus and the hard work put forth by all of the missionaries.
On February 14th, 2008, the election of the new Superior General took place, followed by the election of the fifth council. The results were as follows:
- Very Rev. Fr. Speratus Kamanzi, A.J. (shown at left) - Superior General
- Rev. Fr. Stephen Mallanga, A.J. - Vicar General
- Rev. Fr. john Loboka, A.J. - Councilor in Charge of Formation and Education
- Rev. Fr. Thomas Komakech, A.J. - Councilor in Charge of Pastoral Communication
- Rev. Fr. Joseph Gichuhi, A.J. - Councilor in Charge of Projects and Property
On February 19th, 2008, Delegates, Priests, Religious Sisters and Brothers from various institutes, Seminarians and lay faithful, joined in the Holy Mass of Thanksgiving to God at the Apostles of Jesus Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Langata, presided over by Rt. Rev. David Kamau, Auxiliary Bishop of Nairobi Archdiocese, delegated by His Eminence John Cardinal Njue, Archbishop of Nairobi Archdiocese. Rt. Rev. Emmanuel Obbo, A.J., Bishop of Soroti Catholic Diocese in Uganda, who was also a delegate, was among the celebrants. Mass was followed by a ceremony and reception.
We would like to express our sincere thanks for your prayers, encouragement and wishes. God bless!
