stpatricksyouththika: Our date with Pope Francis-Words By Wachira Njenge

When the Youth Chair one Ngure Wanja made an announcement on social media that whoever would like to attend the Papal Youth Address at Kasarani to register early in advance we all had our names submitted to the Parish Priest the same day.
And when the Friday 27th November reached we were eager to board the Saintie-1 a private hired bus :) as early as 5am and the journey began right there outside the Youth Hall. And in less than 45mins we had already arrived somewhere at the road leading towards the stadium where we joined our peers from across the country clinching on our white invitation cards. Here is glimpse of that memorable occasion.

Seminarian Mumo led us with a word of prayer before our journey started.

Judy Mbugua and her friend couldn't let the chilly weather stop them from attending the event.

Walking towards the stadium eagerly.

Hmm how comes the ladies queue was moving??

Selfie tings

Well I can afford a smile even though this queue hasn't moved in twenty minutes.

The young people had one mission to come listen and see the Pope long queue or no long queue.

The anxiety was killing us.

When waiting for Pope took long Peter Matu took a quick nap.

Kenyan and Vatican flags hoisted at Kasarani provided a picturesque moment.

We are here to witness a historic moment

His Holiness Pope Francis arrives at the stadium aboard the Pope mobile.

Too sleepy Nderu had to take a power nap.

Tree seedlings were issued to every Parish present at the event in a bid to mark Nov 27th as the day that Pope Francis made his address to young people.
