Our Sister Diocese in Kenya
Sauk Centre parishes have been in partnership with their sister diocese in Migori, Kenya, Africa officially since 2007. We frequently have delegations of parishioners traveling back and forth from Sauk Centre to Migori and in winter 2025 we are sending 4 adults to Migori. These exchanges are life changing.
Migori Partnership Team
We will continue to oversee our sister parish relationship with St. Joseph’s in Migori, Kenya. Which includes our OVC Program (Orphan/Vulnerable Children), which began in 2009, where we have been working to provide food, education and some shelter and health care needs for about 78 orphans/vulnerable children. Current happenings: We are preparing for delegates to go to Migori (we are collecting beads and charms and rosary’s in the month of July). In November we have our “Back To School Blessing Tree” where we raise the funds needed for the next school year (they start in January). We are hoping to welcome Fr. Jackwood for two months (for Lent, March-April 2025). Fr. Jackwood was our first high school boy in our OVC Program and ordained a priest in Dec. 2023. We always welcome new members who have in interest in mission and global solidarity.
*We are looking for people who would like to pray for one of our OVC’s (orphan/vulnerable children). Call Kathy to learn more and/or sign up!
Thank you!
