Thomas Burke School

We are proud to celebrate our outstanding swimmers who made a powerful splash at the Aberdare Aquatics Nurturing Talent Swimming Gala held on 7th March 2026 at ACK Thika Memorial School. Our team secured Position 1 in both the Boys’ and Girls’ categories, a remarkable achievement that reflects dedication, teamwork, and relentless practice. Congratulations to our champions for bringing home both trophies and representing the school with excellence. We are incredibly proud of you!

A season of reflection, sacrifice, and love. Our Purple Corners beautifully remind us to focus on what truly matters, Faith, Family, Health, and our Future.

New week, new blessings! Wishing our Thomas Burke Catholic School family a week filled with grace, purpose, and the light of Christ. Let’s make every day an opportunity to serve others and grow in faith.

A time for growth, a time for prayer. As we begin our Lenten journey at Thomas Burke Catholic School, we invite our learners and families to reflect, reset, and prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.
May these 40 days be a season of intentionality and grace.

Wishing our students, faculty, and staff a wonderful weekend break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday!

Words have power, and our students certainly know how to use them! Huge congratulations to our Thomas Burke debaters who showcased incredible critical thinking, eloquence, and poise at the recent debate contest. Watching them tackle complex issues with such passion makes us incredibly proud. Way to represent.

He also rendered invaluable service as a formator at St. Mathias Mulumba Senior Seminary, Tindinyo, helping shape future priests. In addition, he served at the AMECEA Secretariat (Nairobi) and was involved during the period of the 43rd International Eucharistic Congress in Nairobi. He pursued further studies at the University of Nairobi, Duquesne University (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA), and in Rome, where he obtained Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Sacred Theology.

At the time of his death, Fr. Joseph Mokaya was serving at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Parish, Buruburu (Nairobi). He also served as the Chaplain at Buruburu Catholic Institute of Fine arts and Thomas Burke Catholic School.

May the soul of Fr. Joseph Mokaya rest in peace.
