Isiolo, 04 May, 2024 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
Mons. Peter Munguti Makau, the Provincial Superior of the Consolata Missionaries (IMC) in Kenya and Uganda, has been appointed Coadjutor Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Isiolo in Kenya.
With the mandate to assist 74-year-old Bishop Anthony Ireri Mukobo in shepherding the people of God in the Kenyan Episcopal See that was elevated from an Apostolic Vicariate to a Diocese in February 2023, the Papal appointment of Mons. Makau as Coadjutor Bishop gives him “the right of succession” in line with the Code of Canon Law Can. 403 §3.
Mons. Makau’s appointment was announced by the Vatican on Saturday, May 4, and made public by the Holy See Press office on the same day.
Born in May 1975 in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nairobi, the Bishop-elect began his religious formation as a Consolata Missionary in Nairobi, at the Consolata Seminary for Postulancy and philosophy.
He made his first profession on 6 August 1999 after Novitiate at Sagana in Kenya’s Murang’a Diocese and proceeded to the Institut Saint-Eugène de Mazenod in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) for Theology.
