The Holy Spirit Ikutha Parish Center Church that was demolished to make way for upgrading and construction of the Kitui-Kibwezi tarmac road was reopened today.
The church was flagged for demolition by the Kenya National Highways Authority and was brought down after completion.
In 2021, the faithful of Ikutha began to build again. They appeared to be discouraged and downhearted at first, but quickly found strength and propulsion in the same direction.
Today, a colorful and lively ceremony to open the sanctuary took place, presided over by the Catholic Bishop of Kitui Rt. Rev. Joseph Mwongela.
Bishop Mwongela commended the faithful for their bravery, dedication, and generosity in ensuring that Ikutha soars to new heights
The parish priest, Rev. Fr. Maanzo, thanked all the Christians for their donations towards the completion of the church and urged them to continue with the same zeal.
He challenged them to be part and parcel of all development activities, stating that every effort is vital to any success. He encouraged the youth in school to work smart in their studies so that they are able to eradicate poverty, both material and spiritual.
