Dedan Kimathi University of Technology is hosting
the beatification of Sister Irene Stefani who died on 31st October,
1930 in Gikondi, Mukuruweini in Nyeri County.
Beatification is a recognition accorded by the Catholic
Church of a dead person’s entrance into heaven and their ability to intercede
on behalf of believers who pray in their name. It is the third of the four
canonization stages and an individual is given the title “blessed” following their
beatification.
