St Paul's Catholic Parish & University of Nairobi Chaplaincy
The foundation stone of St. Paul’s Chapel was blessed by Pope Paul VI in Kampala on 1st August 1969. Two student representatives from YCS were sent by Fr. Patrick Astor (Opus Dei) to Uganda to have one stone blessed.

Welcome to St. Paul's Parish & Chaplaincy

St. Paul's Catholic Parish and University of Nairobi Chaplaincy has grown from a small University of Nairobi Catholic Chapel. We are located at the Junction of Uhuru Highway and State House Road, right at the entrance of University of Nairobi Graduation Square.

St. Paul's is blessed to have many groups and Small Christian Communities (SCCs) where one can join and participate more actively in the body of the Mother Church.
