Calls for tolerance, inclusion at Kenya's 'great moment of joy'

The history of Nyeri, the story of the heroes of Kenya and the spirit of mercy converged at the Dedan Kimathi University of Technology grounds where the world witnessed a historic fete for the Catholic Church on Saturday.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, his Deputy William Ruto, retired President Mwai Kibaki, Cabinet Secretaries, Senators, Governors and their deputies, MPs and members of the county assemblies joined two cardinals, the apostolic nuncio, 28 bishops and hundreds of priests and nuns for the beatification of Sister Irene Stefani ‘Nyaatha’ who died over eight decades ago.
