Aspirancy House, Sobea

The aspirancy house at Sobea, in the Diocese of Nakuru, opened in 2025. It is the house where aspirants take their first steps in Orionine life. Its director is Fr. Wycliffe Mumia.

It is a quiet place, and it is meant to be. What happens here happens slowly.

A vocation is not a decision taken once. It is a road, and the Congregation walks it in stages.

Aspirancy

The first stage: a young man who feels something and wants to look at it honestly. He gets to know the charism, the community and the works — and, just as importantly, the community gets to know him.
