Our Origin

Urged by the compassionate love of God and concern for the poor, the sick, and the neglected, Seraphina Nyambura felt inspired and called to care for such needy and neglected people. She was joined by other girls who had the same inspiration of dedicating themselves totally to God and serve Him in the poor and neglected. They started living together in August 1974 at Sagana Murang'a. They were approved as a “Pious union” by the Bishop of Nyeri. Among the girls, five of them desired to be elevated to a Religious Congregation, make public vows and live in a religious community. For this reason, they struggled hard to survive

Charism
