“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” Proverbs 1:7

In the name of the Father …

The Kenyatta University Catholic Community (KUCC) domiciled at Christ the Teacher Catholic Chaplaincy, is the home for ALL. Our Motto is “We are one family.” We are a diverse community made of students, faculty, staff, residents and neighbors called by the Triune God to preach and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
