Son of Stephen and Charity Njeri, Father Peter Githaiga Njoroge was born on 31 August 1972 in Murang’a, Central Province (Kenya). In this video recorded in Rome, he recounts how he came to know the missionaries through the Consolata Missionary Sisters. “We struck up a wonderful friendship, and this, as I was finishing secondary school, gave me the desire to become a missionary,” says Father Peter.
In his formation journey, after completing his Novitiate in Sagana, Father Peter spent a brief period in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he recalls an event that left a deep mark on him. “There I was mistaken for a Tutsi from Rwanda and had to flee to Nairobi, where I was able to complete my theology studies before being ordained a priest on 4 August 2001.”
His first mission was in South Korea, in Asia, where he spent ten years: “a mission of presence, encounter, and dialogue with the reality, the culture, and with other religions.” He then worked in youth ministry and animation in Bevera, Italy. The missionary is currently serving in Tanzania, and gives thanks to the Lord for his ordination Jubilee and for the grace of being a priest in the Consolata family.
