A caravan of peace for Pope Francis by the youth of Kenya

In readiness of the forthcoming papal visit to Kenya from 25 to 27 November, all of the 26 dioceses in the country have begun to rally the faithful to journey with the Holy Father during his visit.

In Mombasa Archdiocese for example, Archbishop Martin Kivuva is mobilising the youth in a region hit by a wave of religious intolerance. He has been urging the youth to take advantage of Pope Francis’ visit to preach peace and mutual existence in the country. 
 
Youth from different religions will congregate on 24 November 2015 to say a prayer before leaving Mombasa in a caravan of peace. They will make stop overs in Voi and Machakos towns to send messages of peace and welcome to the Pope.
 
Some of their messages the youth have composed include: “Pope Francis for peace; We love you Papa Francis; You are a peaceful Pope- we want Kenyans to be peaceful people.”
