About Us

CLC Kenya was started in 1989 when Fr. Tim Quinlan, S.J., the Vice Ecclesiastical Assistant for World CLC, visited and spoke to several groups in Nairobi and Mombasa about CLC. From this visit, one group of recent university graduates, including Loreto Sisters, emerged in Nairobi. A scholastic, Gerry Whelan, S.J., from Hekima College initially took responsibility for CLC in Kenya. In 1990, Fr. Terry Charlton, S.J, came to Kenya and was asked to serve as Ecclesiastical Assistant for CLC Kenya which he gladly accepted; a job he was to do for the next twenty years.
