Our Work
The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, a permanent institution, is the assembly of the Catholic Bishops in Kenya united and exercising together their Pastoral offices over Christ’s faithful, as shepherds of the Catholic Church in Kenya which they together promote by forms and means of Apostolate suitable to the circumstances of place and time, in accordance with the Law, to promote the greater good which the Church offers to all Mankind (CIC 447).
To fulfil this mission, the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops established and mandated the KCCB – General Secretariat, through Commissions, to coordinate and implement all those activities which express the Mission of the Catholic Church in Kenya at the National level.
