    The best architectural design church ⛪. Very good natural lighting. The choir sings heavenly. There is a dead guy locked in a glass coffin at the front RHS. It is the founder Don Bosco himself. Visit the Shrine and see for yourself.

    Also known as The Shrine of Mary Help of Christians. This is one of the finest Catholic churches in Nairobi. It is run by the Salesians of Don Bosco. A fulfilling place for family worship; kids, teens, youth and adults. It's a physical meeting point where Christians come to experience fellowship with the most High God and His people from all walks of life. The teachings cover all spheres of life including; spiritual, mental, social and physical well-being. It's peaceful, clean and friendly for all. Located in Upper Hill opposite the former NTSA offices. Large compound with plenty of parking. Sports pitches located at the entrance.

    A great place to worship with adequate space inside. The congregation attending Mass on Sundays is large and there are plastic seats outside for those who did not find space inside the main church to sit and follow the Mass. There is a camera focusing on the priest at the altar and those at the pulpits whose output is displayed on a screen outside for those who did not find a space inside the Church. The choir is lively and they play their instruments really well! There are multiple security guards within the compound - who help with controlling traffic - and at the main gate who search the cars. Attended the 9:15 a.m. Mass on Sunday and noted that the Church gets full rather quickly. If possible, please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before the Mass starts in order to get a space inside the church.

  • 5/5 Mary L. 9 months ago on Google
    Another amazingly built Catholic church that I managed to attend while in Nairobi. It is located in Matumbato road. It is huge with its own beauty and with lots of conference rooms where we held our family mass in one of them. There is lots of parking space and 30mins allowance in between masses to allow for transition of parking for those coming in after end of each mass. Forgot to take photos but it's exactly as shown.

    I go for mass at Don Bosco Church and I must say its always a wonderful experience. The architecture and ambiance of the church are truly awe-inspiring. The beautiful stained glass windows and intricate details of the altar create a serene atmosphere perfect for prayer and contemplation. The priests and staff are very welcoming and accommodating. They have a deep knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic Church and provide excellent guidance and support to the community. The choir and music are exceptional, adding to the overall spiritual experience. I highly recommend visiting Don Bosco Church for anyone seeking a peaceful place to pray and reflect. Whether you're a Catholic or simply appreciate beautiful architecture, this church is a must-see. Thank you to the staff and volunteers for maintaining such a wonderful place of worship."

    A quaint Catholic Church in Upperhill. The place is spacious enough with clear access roads.

    The 9.15 mass tends to get full pretty quickly but there are reasons. The choir is alright, the accompanying instruments are really good and the presiding priest will tickle your funny bone occasionally.

  • 5/5 Ambagwa E. 1 year ago on Google
    A big church with a tremendous amount of religious art

  • 5/5 eQ 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place of worship. It's normally quite full on Sundays. When you want to connect to your spiritual self, this is the place to be. Tuesdays are my favorite.

    Lovely place to to attend catholic mass. With good praise and worship songs

  • 5/5 Trevor M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the most grand, not the most modern, but holds a very very dear place in my heart as my childhood church. Highly recommended for those who hear God in moments of silence before, during or after a random weekday confession.

  • 5/5 Maina G. 2 years ago on Google
    An iconic Roman Catholic Church offering Mass for children separate from the main service for adults. One of the leading Roman Catholic Churches in Nairobi as regards religious instructions for all aspects (sacraments including Baptism, First Holy Communion, Confirmation and Marriage). Run by the Don Bosco Fathers

    The security is the best in all churches in Kenya, their masses are ever on time, the COVID SOPs are followed and you still get a chance of being Vaccinated for COVID free of charge
