He then went to his doctoral studies in Canada and returned to Africa in the 1980s and taught in the major seminary in Malawi, and at the Catholic Institute of West Africa, before coming back to Eastern Africa where he taught at the Apostles of Jesus Seminary in Lang’ata.

He dedicated his life to the education, spiritual and pastoral ministry of the people of God within Nairobi. He was also a member of the Nairobi Music Society. Fr Stan died at 82 years of age.

He was a Jesuit 65 years and a priest for 51 year. The Memorial Mass will take place at Mwangaza Jesuit Spiritually Centre in Karen on Saturday, 22^nd April, 2017 at 10am. May he rest in eternal peace!
