The Catholic Diocese of Kitui will launch its Diocesan Lenten Campaign on 22nd February 2026 at Holy Spirit Zombe Parish in a ceremony to be presided over by Rt. Rev. Joseph Mwongela starting with a holy Mass at 10:00 am.
The Lenten Season officially began on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
The diocesan launch comes after the National Campaign Launch, which took place on February 13, 2026, in the Diocese of Lodwar.
The 2026 Lenten campaign, themed “Building a Just, Peaceful and United Kenya: Upholding Equity and Human Dignity,” seeks to guide the faithful through a period of prayer, reflection, and action during the Lenten season. During this season which lasts for 40 days, the faithful are called to embrace the pillars of Lent; prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
The five-week Lenten period will focus on the following weekly topics:
Week One: Leadership and Integrity
Week Two: Ballooning Debt and Over-Taxation
Week Three: Sanctity and Dignity of Human Life
Week Four: Youth and Technology
Week Five: Response to the Cry of the Earth
wishing you all prayerful Lenten season 2026.
