Opus Dei

This short video brings together some features of the charism of Opus Dei as explained by St. Josemaría: doing everything out of love, understanding all people, praying for the Church and the Pope, sharing one vocation, being a family, imitating Jesus Christ, being a temple of the Blessed Trinity wherever we are, and sanctifying work.

St. Josemaría was born on 9 January 1902 in Barbastro, Spain. Here are a variety of resources to get to know his life and works better.

St. Josemaría was canonised in 2002 and his feast day is 26 June. Information about his life, and favours granted through his intercession, are available here(https://opusdei.org/en-ke/section/saint-josemaria/). To mark the occasion, Masses will be celebrated in different cities and towns across East Africa. In many of these Masses, priests will be available for Confessions half an hour before the beginning of Mass. Mass details are given below.

Here's a video about the message of Saint Josemaría and its impact on various people. It is the second in a series of 7 videos explaining some fundamental aspects of the spirit of Opus Dei.

D. Pedro Casciaro and Fr. Gabiola arrived in Nairobi, by plane, on 24th October 1958; Ed Hernandez , Kevin O’Byrne and a some other members of Opus Dei were already there.

As devotion to St. Josemaria spreads around the East African region, more and more people are organising local Masses in his honour especially around his feast day - including the students and teachers at Pearlcrest School of Hospitality and Management in Entebbe (Uganda).

We offer the homily preached by the Prelate of Opus Dei on the Feast Day of St Josemaría and a selection of pictures taken in the Masses celebrated in several countries.
