Archbishop Philip Anyolo Subira of Kenya’s Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi (ADN) has commended Caritas Nairobi, the charity and development arm of the Archdiocese, for facilitating a quality life for the people of God in his Metropolitan See.
In his Wednesday, November 27 homily during the Eucharistic Celebration for the launch of the Caritas Nairobi 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, Archbishop Anyolo highlighted the organization's commitment to helping individuals live meaningful lives through acts of charity and empowerment.
“Here in the Archdiocese of Nairobi, Caritas has helped and will continue to help the people of God to live a quality life that will make you feel, and people feel, you are a good-hearted person,” he said in his homily during the celebration that was held at the Consolata Shrine in Nairobi.
The Local Ordinary of ADN emphasized the importance of charity in guiding Caritas's activities, stating, “Charity is very important; otherwise... it will just be a mockery of yourself and God.”
Outlining Caritas’ approach to charity as a model of empowerment, Archbishop Anyolo said, “If you want to help somebody, don’t just give him fish but teach him to fish.”
