About Minkisi Ministry

Minkisi is in its 24th year of an interracial contemplative prayer and action ministry in Our Lady Queen of Peace Church, Arlington, VA. The word minkisi is a Kiswahili word that means ‘healing objects.’ As Catholic Christians, the Scripture-based Minkisi members see themselves as instruments of God’s love and peace. The 2020-2021 annual theme is “Brokenhearted and Bound in the Lord!” Based on Psalm 147:3, He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
