Mother Superior

Peace and all Goodness be with you.

In the quiet hills of Mwatate, the Discalced Sisters of Mercy live a life stripped of the superficial to focus entirely on the eternal. To be "Discalced" is to walk barefoot in spirit—approaching God with humility, poverty, and a heart unburdened by the noise of the world.

Our monastery is a spiritual well for the Taita-Taveta community and beyond. While we live in the silence of the cloister, our mission is loud in its devotion: we transform every breath and every prayer into a plea for the healing of the sick, the comfort of the broken, and the guidance of the lost. We believe that in a world that never stops moving, stillness is the most powerful form of action.

To the weary soul seeking peace: you are not alone. Your burdens are carried in our daily prayers. To the young woman feeling a quiet stir in her heart: do not be afraid to give everything to the One who gave everything for you. There is no greater joy than a life completely surrendered to Love.

We invite you to join us in this journey of faith. May the Mother of Mercy protect you and lead you ever closer to the Heart of her Son.

In the peace of Christ,

#Our Faq

Commonly Asked Questions

The word "discalced" comes from the Latin for "unshod" or barefoot. Historically, it represented a reform toward a more austere and humble lifestyle. Today, for our community in Mwatate, it symbolizes our commitment to living simply and walking humbly with God, stripped of worldly vanities to focus entirely on our spiritual calling.

Our day is a rhythmic balance of Ora et Labora (Prayer and Work). It begins before dawn with the Office of Readings and includes the celebration of the Eucharist, multiple hours of communal and silent prayer, manual labor to maintain our home, and time for spiritual study.
