Siaya, Kenya – November 2025 - The Salesian Province of East Africa (AFE) has inaugurated the new Don Bosco presence in Siaya, near Lake Victoria, marking the 150th anniversary of the first Salesian missionary expedition. Warmly welcomed by Archbishop Maurice Mbata and the clergy of the Archdiocese of Kisumu, the Salesians are being hosted by the Parish Community of Mbaga, with special gratitude extended to Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Kenneth Robert. The daily oratory was officially blessed and opened on November 22, 2025, the feast of St. Cecily, beginning with the prayer “Hail Mary.” More than 100 boys and girls attended the first gathering, expressing joy and enthusiasm. Local families are eagerly anticipating the future Senior Secondary School planned for the site. The land was donated to the Salesians two years ago by German philanthropist Dr. Alois Stimpfle. The Salesian community hopes, that if the required help arrives to begin the school, student admission would begin in 2028.
