of Eastern Africa
A community called to preach Jesus Christ as part of the
worldwide mission of the Order of Preachers
Who are we ?
The Dominican family is composed of Dominican Friars, Nuns, Sisters, Laity and Youths. We share a common heritage in the spirit and charism of St. Dominic. In Kenya, we are present in Nairobi and Kisumu Archdiocese and Ngong diocese. In Uganda, we are present at Kakumiro-Kibaale and Namugongo-Kampala.
Second Sunday - Year A
On this Second Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A, we reflect on Jesus revealed as the Lamb of God who walks with the called. The liturgy reminds us that God’s call is not merely an invitation but a lifelong journey sustained by grace. As John the Baptist points to Christ, we are invited to recognize Jesus as the One who takes away sin and strengthens those He sends.
This celebration encourages us to trust that the Lord who calls also accompanies us, giving us the courage to persevere, remain faithful, and live our vocation as a light to others. In Christ, we find not only our mission but also the strength to endure it.
Sunday Reflections
Insights of St. Thomas Aquinas offer a profound lens through which we explore the Sunday readings. Here, we share reflections rooted in his teachings, inviting a deeper understanding of scripture and faith.
