Chaplaincy, First Holy Communion

Posted on by admin

This year 27 students from the Primary section received their 1st Holy Communion on 17th May 2024.

It was a colourful occasion presided by the School Chaplain Fr. Francis Rimbau.

Families and friends to the boys joined in the witnessing, thanksgiving and celebration to this memorable event for the boys.

First Holy Communion is a Sacrament in the Catholic Church for Christian initiation. The Catholic faithful born a new by Baptism is nourished by the Eucharist.

Chaplaincy, Parents

We are saddened of the sudden demise of Gyavira Otsambo Osundwa, one of our students, on, Sunday, 11th February 2024.
The Strathmore School family wish to convey our deepest condolences to the parents: Mr. Kizito Osundwa and Mrs. Lydia Diffu and their family on this great loss.

Gyavira joined Strathmore School in Grade 7 from All Saints Primary School and has proved to be a cheerful young man who got along very well with his classmates and teachers. He was also a very pious young man who regularly attended Mass in school. We shall all miss him dearly.

The loss of Gyavira is a big blow to the school community, especially to his classmates. The chaplaincy offered Mass for the repose of his soul.
We are all invited to pray for the repose of Gyavira’s soul.

Eternal Rest grant unto Gyavira O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on him forever!

We have trainers under the stewardship of former Gor Mahia and Harrambee Stars Player Paul Kyongera.

The boys are grouped and trained according to their skill level.

Thanks to the program started last year; we were able to win the 2023 Strathmore School 11 and under tournament.
