Is Eric Omondi a Legio Maria faithful? Taking to his social media pages, the comedian shared a video documenting his visit to the Legio Maria church Harambee in Tasia, along Kangundo Road. Upon arrival, he was warmly received by congregants who helped him into their sacred white gown to fully blend in before the service began. According to Eric, he had been invited as the chief guest by the church’s lead preacher. The comedian was treated with honour throughout the service, seated at a special table filled with snacks, water, and soft drinks. When given a chance to address the congregation, the comedian led the worshippers in song before making a generous announcement. “When the preacher invited me, I knew I had to come. I have brought the church KSh 100,000. May God bless you. When we spoke on the phone, I said this little that I have brought is just the beginning,” he said. Eric went on to reveal his larger vision for the church, noting that the faithful were currently worshipping in a tent. “I don’t think buying land costs KSh 100,000, and I also don’t think what the area MCA has donated will be enough. But this is just to signify that the journey has started. We will buy land and build a dignified place of worship,” he added. The video also captured a touching moment where Eric knelt with a lit candle as the preacher prayed and spoke blessings over him. Shortly after, a pickup truck arrived at the church carrying several bags of cement, which were later offloaded before everyone gathered for a group photo. Watch the video below: Netizens react to Eric’s visit to Legio Maria church Here are some of the comments from netizens who watched the video: Andy Isaac: “When others hold meetings to ‘discuss’ change, Erick is out there doing it. That’s leadership in motion.” Mrs Eveleen Mitei: “Supporting communities in their quest for dignity is one of the highest expressions of public service. A place of worship is more than a structure; it is a sanctuary where hope, identity and belonging take root. Such partnerships remind us that development is strongest when it uplifts both the spiritual and social foundations of our society.” Antony Lyrikali: “Unafanyanga kazi hata rais ameshindwa and other leaders.” Berna Mwaniki: “Be blessed Eric the work of the lord is not in vain you’ll go far bro.” Hon MacCkanthon Oloosigu Ombaye: “Aki bro Erick Omondi thank you a lot for the decision you have made and promised.”
