First Catholic Parish in Kenya
The year 1889 marks the beginning of Mombasa’s first “catholic mission”. Fr. Alexander le Roy, a Holy Ghost Missionary (C.S.Sp), is considered the pioneer of this initiative. The first baptism took place on August 14, 1889, when Maria, the infant daughter of Diego and Natalie Pereira, was received into the Christian community.
The Congregation of the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as the Spiritans, were the first Catholic missionaries to arrive in Mombasa in 1889. Monseigneur Raoul de Courmont was appointed the Vicar Apostolic of Zanzibar and sent Father Alexander Le Roy on an exploratory assignment to Mombasa.
In 1889, Father Le Roy finally settled in Mombasa, establishing the first chapel in Ndia Kuu Old Town. The church was mainly attended by Goans and Europeans and the first baptism recorded was on 14th August 1889 of Maria, the infant daughter of Diego and Natalia Pereira. The first African to be baptised in the parish was a 3yr old Giriama boy who was dying. Fr Alexander Le Roy baptised him Alexander, perhaps after himself.
