Celebrating Remarkable Milestones in Our Diocese Congratulation to our Champions
Our Diocese celebrates a moment of grace and historic recognition. Rt. Rev. Bishop Dr. Hieronymus E. Joya, IMC, our spiritual father and visionary leader, has been honored globally by WWF for Nature as the World’s Environmentalist Bishop. This remarkable achievement is a shining witness to his prophetic voice and tireless commitment to protecting creation, uplifting communities, and anchoring environmental stewardship in faith. As he reminds us,
“A true shepherd not only guides souls but also guards creation — for when we cherish the earth, we celebrate God’s gift, bless future generations, and reveal heaven’s hope growing in human hands.”
Through his leadership, our Diocese stands as a beacon of hope and a model of faith in action for the world.
At the same time, we are deeply proud of Mr. Geoffrey Lusweti, our dedicated Director of PIHD, who has been elected as the Metropolitan Secretary-General for CJPD in the Nyeri Metropolitan Province. His elevation reflects unwavering commitment, steadfast service to humanity, and unshakable belief in community transformation. With humility and vision, he reminds us,
“Leadership is not a position, but a purpose — to inspire, to lift others, and to plant seeds of change even when the harvest may be far ahead. We rise not for ourselves, but so that many may rise with us.”
His journey is a testimony that faith-driven leadership, consistency, and service always open doors to greater responsibility and greater impact.
Together, these milestones are not just honors — they are a call to all of us to dream boldly, serve faithfully, protect creation passionately, and walk confidently in God’s mission. The Diocese of Maralal shines today because God is raising leaders who lead with heart, faith, courage, and vision.
