What we Do!
As Assumption Sisters of Eldoret, we participate in the redeeming mission of Christ who emptied Himself, became a servant and accepted suffering in order to deliver all from sin.
We manifest our charism by joyful service of the Church and all God’s people. Identifying with them as our brothers and sisters, we strive to make evident the reconciling ministry of Jesus to the point of not shrinking from any sacrifice, even that of death.
Inspired by the life of Mary the mother of Jesus who shared in the redemptive suffering, our life and service as Assumption Sisters is that of humility and obedience, simplicity and hospitality, zeal, hope and courage.
We are called to live by the Gospel values and bring good news of salvation to the society.
The spirit which we claim as our own was present in the life of our founder. As apostolic religious women, we live in a more growing awareness of God’s presence in all things especially in our actions and our ministries. The Eucharist is the centre of our lives and source of faith, hope and love. Prayer is our source of strength and inspiration.
