Pope Francis has been in the country since Wednesday, November 25, where he was given a warm welcome by President Uhuru Kenyatta, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto.

The Pope presided over the first mass in Africa and Kenya yesterday, Nov 26th, at the University of Nairobi where pilgrims showed up in large numbers to witness the historic moment.

Well, The Papa is not done just yet, as he is currently leading another mass in the centre of Kangemi slums at a little known St.Joseph the Worker Catholic Church, where thousands are expected to turn up.

Preparations at the church started back in October, as it is a rare privilege to welcome the most revered spiritual leader among the Catholic faithful across the world.

People gathered at the church very early with children eagerly waiting to see the leader of the Roman Catholic Church.
