  6. Challenges facing Catholic Action • Need for a clearer vision of CA identity • A need to renew itself – a simpler and more flexible structure • A Formation programme relevant to our times • Deeper communion with other Associations and Movements • Better understanding of the signs of the time • Be a witness of the Gospel in all spheres of life

  7. CA Contribution to the Local Church • Young people as protagonists • Ongoing formation of adults • Involvement in parishes • Implementation of Diocesan Synod • Provision of Social Assistance • Running a Home for the Elderly • Instrumental in the setting up of a Home for the Handicapped • Offering a house as residence for immigrants from Africa • Publication of a Catholic Weekly Newspaper, a bi-monthly paper for Children, a magazine for the Sick and Handicapped as well as a radio programme

  11. M.U.S.E.U.M. Kenya There are two SDC Centres in Kenya: • two Maltese Members in Ruiru, near Nairobi • and three in Mpeketoni, in the Diocese of Garissa. In Kenya, youths are eager and receptive. In Ruiru, where we have been since September 1989, our two Members have so far furnished a workshop, and they give free carpentry lessons in the mornings to help youths find some sort of work. In the afternoons they catechise different categories of children and youths. In Mpeketoni, where our three Members arrived in October 1991, we are still finding our feet, though we are visiting almost all the villages of the area. Kenya, however, is a promising country and various possibilities may open up for our catechising ministry. In August 1994 six indigenous Members were incorporated in Ruiru.

  12. Greetings to all CA members in Kenya From CA members in Malta May the Lord bless your work and guide you in all your endevours
