On 28th October 2025 the two Missions of Kenya and Tanzania will merge to become the new Region of East Africa. Mass was celebrated to mark this wonderful new, life-giving venture in the history of the Company in East Africa. Sister Françoise Petit, (Superioress General) Sister Julie Kubasak and Sister Theresa Eke (General Councillors)travelled to Kenya for the celebrations. The Kenya Mission, as part of the Irish Province, was established in 2002 and Tanzania, as part of the Province of Congo, was established in 2006. Kenya has 7 local communities and 40 sisters. Tanzania has 9 sisters and two local communities. Earlier this year Sr Francoise Petit, Superioress General, initiated dialogue and consultation with all the sisters in Tanzania and Kenya. It was agreed that a new Region should be established as part of the Irish Province. This new region will be under the patronage of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Recently, after consultation, Sr Liz Smith was appointed as the new Regional Superior for the Region of East Africa . Sr. Lawrencilla Kiambi, Sr Josephine Kimeu, Sr Irene Okumu and Sr Stella Maris Mgaya William are the new councillors.

Sister Theresa Tighe D.C. (Provincial) welcomed Fr Eugene - "It is with deep joy and heartfelt gratitude that we welcome Fr Eugene, our Vincentian brother, as Provincial Director of our province of Blessed Rosalie Rendu." Theresa went on to say that Eugene's previous ministries have shaped him into a compassionate listener, a thoughtful guide, and a faithful companion on our journey of discernment. As we prepare for our upcoming assemblies under the theme 'Artisans of hope and peace,' Fr Eugene's presence is a sign of God's providence. His accompaniment will help us shape a future that is faithful to our charism and responsive to the needs of those we serve - our own sisters, the poor, the forgotten and all whose lives touch ours in any way. In his homily, Fr Eugene emphasised the notion of accompaniment, walking with people as they discover for themselves the freedom that is theirs as beloved children of God. It is up to us to do what God asks of us in good times and not so good times. He emphasized that we are not in control but God is in control and his grace and mercy extends to all of us.
