Don Bosco Embu has become the Salesian aspirantate for Kenya from August 2022. Earlier, the aspirants of Kenya were staying in different communities. The Rectors of Kenya and the Provincial Formation Commission found it very important to have a common formation. Today we have 12 aspirants in the community hailing from different parts of Kenya.

The Vocation Director for Kenya also resides at Don Bosco Embu. We are happy to welcome Roman Catholic young men who completed KCSE (Form IV) with at least a mean grade of C+ to join us to become Salesian Brothers or Priests.
