Located in Mundika, Bungoma Diocese, St. Catherine Care for the Aged was started by the Benedictine Sisters of Our Lady of Grace and Compassion to take care of the increasing number of needy elderly people in the area.
Sr. Beatrice Odinyu, the regional superior of East Africa, shared more about the care for the elderly. “Our charism is care for the old destitute people,” she said. “Driven by the spirit of our foundress and with compassion, we serve the elderly and abandoned.”
The apostolate in Mundika started in 1990 with the care for the elderly in their homes, but as the number of people in need grew, in 2020 sisters erected a residential home.
