Subukia Shrine

Subukia Shrine also known as Village of Mary, Mother of God is the National Marian Shrine located in Subukia 40 km from Nakuru. The Shrine is responsible for attracting Spiritual Tourism from all over the world for individuals interested on a spiritual pilgrimage to Kenya.

The Shrine belongs to the Kenya Episcopal Conference and is entrusted to the care of Conventual Franciscan Friars. It famously referenced as a place of peace, prayer, reconciliation and rest. This is where both locals and foreigners come to visit and spend some time in prayer and meditation.

There is a little chapel at the foot of the hill in which you can spend some time and if you venture up the hill, you will find another chapel with the statue of Our Lady and the miraculous spring of water that leaves one refreshed both physically and spiritually.

In the same grounds as Subukia Shrine is a church with a seating capacity estimated at 4,500 in construction due for completion soon.

When planning to visit as an organized group to Subukia Shrine, please inform the Director of the Shrine in advance to make arrangements for your tour of the place.
