In Kenya, it is the church that complements the government in dealing with diverse issues which are related to citizens. This paper examines the role of the Roman Catholic Church in addressing educational and health issues in Meru County. The historical background of the Ameru, the inroads of the Roman Catholic Missionaries in this county and the various initiatives that have been adopted by the church in educational and health care issues are discussed accordingly. The research was conducted in Meru County and was further corroborated with relevant literature to ascertain the Roman Catholic Church’s involvement. It is evident that the church collaborates with the government in the provision of quality education and sustained health care services to the residents of Meru
