published times and details for the broadcast of the daily Holy Eucharist in
view of the coronavirus pandemic.

The radio and television Masses are a way to continue giving
spiritual nourishment to the more than 11 million Kenyan Catholic faithful who
are no longer able to assemble at their various places of worship. The move
comes in the wake of the Kenyan government’s suspension of all Church, Mosque,
and other religious gatherings in a bid to combat the spread of COVID- 19.
Some religious institutions accused of non-compliance
Some Christian Churches and Mosques were over the weekend
accused of non-compliance. Sections of Kenyan media labelled ‘defiant Churches
and Mosques as the weak link’ in Kenya’s combat against the spread of the
coronavirus.
Kenya’s Health Cabinet Secretary, Mutahi Kagwe lamented
non-compliance by religious institutions to the social distancing requirement
imposed by health authorities. Kagwe has since reminded Kenyans that the new
health instruction includes weddings, funerals and other social gatherings.
“These directives take effect immediately until further
notice. Once again, we are aware that these measures may be inconvenient at the
moment, but I assure that they are necessary for meeting our indicated
objective of keeping all Kenyans safe,” Kagwe said.
Catholic broadcast media announce times for various Masses
Kenya’s Director of Capuchin Television, Fr. Peter Waweru
announced that in response to the signs and needs of the time, Capuchin TV
would air Holy Mass twice a day.
Almost all Kenya’s Catholic radio stations also announced
similar daily arrangements and times in their broadcast schedules.
