TIGONI ABBEY HISTORY
In 2022, we celebrated our golden jubilee since the arrival of our first missionaries in Kenya. The first celebration was held at Chesongoch Parish on 11th July 2022 and the second one on 10th September 2022 in collaboration with the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret and the Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing, Nairobi Priory.
BECOME A MONK
Every vocation is unique. Being a monk is a vocation. It is God who calls us to monastic life: we do not give our vocation to ourselves. But how do we know if we have a monastic vocation? It is discerned by our heart’s desire. God alone enters deep into our hearts and sows the seed of a desire to follow him in a life of closer friendship with him. When one feels drawn to monastic life, he needs to discern whether this desire is truly a call from God. He must ask God to enlighten him in prayer and talk to a few experienced people who know him well.
