Archer's Post Parish

Mary Immaculate Parish, Archers Post began near the local dispensary through the pioneering work of Bishop Charles Maria Cavallera, supported by the first catechist Paul and later catechists like Henry Ekuwam, and is dedicated to Mary Immaculate. Early evangelization faced resistance, language and transport challenges, with missionaries like Fr. Egidio Pedenzini and later Bishop Virgilio Pante traveling long distances, at times by motorcycle, to reach Christians, and remembers the sacrifice of Fr. Luigi Andeni who died on 14 September 1998. The Church also developed health services from a dispensary in 1963 strengthened by sisters in September 2018 at Bishop Pante's invitation. Today the parish serves seven outstations in three zones up to 55km away, served 2020-2026 by Fr. Philip Kamau Mwangi, showing a journey from modest missionary foundations to a resilient local community sustained by priests, sisters, catechists and pastoralist Christians.

Wamba Parish

St. Aloysius Gonzaga Parish, Wamba was established in *1965* by the Missionaries of the Consolata after Bishop Charles Maria Cavallera sent Fr. Lawrence Rosano to find land, with elders requesting a girls' school and hospital. Fr. Pietro Ronchi became first parish priest assisted by Fr. Joseph Ramponi, celebrating the first Mass in a government office according to catechist Lekoiten Philip. Dedicated to St. Aloysius Gonzaga (feast 21 June), the parish grew through education and health institutions like Wamba Hospital, nursing school and St. Theresa's Girls Secondary, expanded in early 1970s by Fr. Peter Tallone with outstations like Ngilai 35km away, plus work of Nirmala Sisters at Huruma House.
