Faith
The Archbishop of Nairobi took the initiative to establish a chaplaincy in the school. The activities of the chaplaincy pivots around the mission to teach, guide and counsel. Every Monday and Friday the chaplain offers prayers during assembly. Every Sunday there is a period of worship. The Muslims are provided a room which serves as a "mosque", the Protestants worship in the dining hall while the Catholics attend Mass in the school chapel. The first and last Sundays of the terms are joint worship. The Archbishop visits to administer sacrament of confirmation and prior to the start of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education. The Protestants are guided by the Christian Union Patron assisted by Christian Union Fellowship.
The Chaplain offers catechism instructions to those willing to be baptised, receive the Holy Communion or Sacrament of Confirmation. Guidance is given collectively during school assemblies and individually. The Chaplain also assists the school administration in inspiring the school community to uphold or maintain the ideal of a catholic sponsored school where the formation of character is the foundation of sound discipline, academic excellence and of an all rounded personality.

Famous quotes containing the word faith:
“I am a Christian according to my conscience in belief, ... in purpose and wish;Mnot of course by the orthodox standard. But I am content, and have a feeling of trust and safety.
The Machiavellian mind and the merchant mind are at one in their simple faith in the power of segmental division to rule all—in the dichotomy of power and morals and of money and morals.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“There is no assurance of the great fact in question [namely, immortality]. All the arguments are mere probabilities, analogies, fancies, whims. We believe, or disbelieve, or are in doubt according to our own make-up—to accidents, to education, to environment. For myself, I do not reach either faith or belief ... that I—the conscious person talking to you—will meet you in the world beyond—you being yourself a conscious person—the same person now reading what I say.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Give me this day a faith not personal
As follows: The American people fully armed
With assurance policies, righteous and harmed,
Battle the world of which they’re not at all.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
