The Congregation of the Sisters of Emmanuel is quite indigenous and was founded in 1989, in the Catholic Diocese of Murang’a, in Kenya, under the guidance/Supervision of Archbishop Kairo, the then Bishop of Murang’a. The aim of the congregation was to perpetuate and carry forward the work hat the missionaries had started. The missionaries were moving to new frontiers that had not been evangelized and their numbers had greatly reduced in the Diocese.
The Spirituality of the Sisters of Emmanuel borrows greatly from the theology of Emmanuel- It is a Spirituality originating from the experience of: Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, the Shepherds at the Manger; the Wise men and the Manger.
