Holy Thursday Chrism Mass was held on 29th March 2018 at St. Mary's Msongari. His Eminence John Cardinal Njue was the main Celebrant.

His Eminence asked all priests to pray for an increase of vocations to priestly and religious life. "Vocations are indeed a gift from God for which we must pray unceasingly. Following the invitation of Jesus, we need to pray to the Lord to send out labourers into his harvest," he added.

In conclusion, His Eminence urged the clergy to be close to their people. He added that a priest who is close to his people walks among them with the closeness and tenderness of a good shepherd.
