A new center of Pauline light, known as Gabriella House, has been established in Nairobi’s tranquil Karen zone (named after Danish writer Karen Blixen, who lived in that part of the city and whose name is closely associated with Kenya). The house was built in memory of Sr. Gabriella Marcazzan, a great Pauline missionary, and is the new formation community of the circumscription’s Junior professed sisters.
It is also meant to be a point of reference for evangelization with the instruments of social communication, particularly with regard to the students and faculties of the Catholic University of East Africa, various Theologates and other institutes for higher study located in the area.
In February, Gabriella House hosted an important apostolic initiative: the launch of a new series of books for teachers and students on the theme of civic education. The titles printed thus far are: Democracy and Elections; Human Rights; Religion and Politics; Economy and Finance. Over a hundred teachers, students, priests, religious and laity attended the meeting, held in the House’s conference hall, which was decorated with panels presenting the Pauline charism.
