A Sacred Place of Divine Grace

The Marian Shrine in Subukia stands as a testament to faith, hope, and divine intervention. Our story began with a vision of creating a sacred space where pilgrims could experience the profound presence of God and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Nestled in the heart of Nakuru County, the shrine has become a beacon of spiritual light, drawing thousands of faithful from across Kenya and beyond. The sacred grounds, blessed with natural springs and serene landscapes, provide the perfect setting for prayer, reflection, and spiritual renewal.

Over the years, countless miracles and answered prayers have been attributed to the intercession of Our Lady at this holy site, making it one of the most revered Marian shrines in East Africa.
