Opus Dei

Paul Kioko grew up among elephants, lions and snakes. After working for a number of years as a doctor, he is preparing himself to become a deacon on the 3rd of November. This is his story.

“I really needed this,” was the comment of one priest at the end of the week. Like many priests busy with their pastoral work, he knew how to give spiritual strength to others but was getting very little himself. One of the Christians in his parish heard about a seminar being organised for diocesan priests and paid for him to attend.
