AFRICA/KENYA - All Kenya is close to Pope John Paul II

Nairobi (Fides Service) - “Christians in Kenya are close to the Pope with their prayers” Father Eugenio Ferrari, IMC, National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Kenya told Fides. “The Holy Father is loved by everyone in Kenya, Catholics, other Christians and non Christians because he has always defended the rights of the weaker members of society. Today’s national newspapers have the Pope’s condition on the front page” the missionary said. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 1/4/2005 righe 10 parole 91)
