Fr. Michal Kruszewski, C.R. arrived in Dar es Salaam from Canada (through Doha, Qatar) on Tuesday, November 3. Unfortunately, one of his suitcases did not arrive with him! Eventually, the suitcase was retrieved in Morogoro 3 days later. ☹
Fr. Michal will be staying for about 6 weeks. Fr. Jim needs to go to Buhemba to learn about the pre-primary, primary and secondary schools because Fr. Maciej Braun is returning to Poland after almost 25 years of service in the Tanzanian mission. While Fr. Jim is away, Fr. Michal will be a priest presence in the formation house, being available for Eucharist and other responsibilities.
Fr. Jim will leave on Monday, November 16. This will give him time to orient Fr. Michal to the formation house. Br. Mosses will still be here, so Fr. Michal will have ongoing daily support. While he is here in Morogoro, Fr. Michal will continue working on his dissertation as he completes his doctorate in Canon Law at St. Paul’s University in Ottawa. We are very fortunate that he is able to be with us. It is also a great opportunity for the seminarians to meet another great priest from the Congregation of the Resurrection!
We had an “official” welcome of Fr. Michal on his first night, complete with singing and ice cream!
Fr. Jim and Fr. Michal went for a walk yesterday near the high-speed train. It was in the 90’s F (30’s C) so it was hot! But we saw some beautiful landscapes and were able to solve many of the world’s problems in our conversation!
After Sunday Eucharist, Fr. Michal posed with our newest seminarians who are studying in their first year of Philosophy.
