A Home for Formation in Nairobi
The vocation promotion project took off in 1984 after a new site was acquired and building plans were approved by the Provincial Council. Fr. Paolo Guarise, who had arrived in the country in January 1984, was in charge of vocations and the seminary.
With the seminary, the small Caledonian community split into two groups: a pastoral tandem and a formation tandem.
