dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out in Kahawa West Parish, located about 25 kilometres from the City Square. It began by giving a brief background on the situation concern of acknowledging and appreciating women's contribution in the church and society as a whole. The study was guided by the following objectives: To investigate the contribution of C.W.A to the church of Kenya, and also to establish the effects of C.W.A to the growth of the church, materially and spiritually. The instruments used to carry out the study were questionnaires, interview and observation. The questionnaires were designed according to the objectives of the study. It was observed that C.W.A contributes materially and spiritually to the church. However, it was also confirmed that women, sometimes, are not given enough room in the church to explore their potential due to lack of support and proper guidance from the church leaders, especially the Bishop, Parish Priest and church council. Finally, the study suggests that since in the church of Kenya majority of the congregation are women, there is a need to incorporate more women in church matters, including pastoral planning at diocese level, since women participate more in church life. It also needs to encourage and empower women by offering them seminars to create awareness on their responsibilities in the building of the church and the society as whole. According to the findings, it is important to involve more women in this type of investigation in different parishes, diocese and national level so that women would be able to solve problems they may encounter in their daily activities. Nevertheless, there is a great need to investigate the problems that hinder the participation of C.W.A. and the effects of their activities in the Catholic Church in Kenya.en_US
