Christmas in Butiama & Buhemba - 5
Tarani Outstation Christmas Mass & Baptism

After Christmas Eve Mass, we gathered in the Novitiate for a little Christmas celebration, complete with apple juice and cookies. Karoli, Joseph, Paschal, and Valentino provide some music…Livinus is out of range, playing the drums.
I was tired and needed to get to sleep for the next day’s liturgies. First stop was the outstation at Tarani where I would baptize a newly born girl of two weeks! It was a beautiful morning, and the choir was ready with “yours truly” bringing up the rear!
Any bodily similarities between me and St. Francis are purely coincidental!
Leonsi was my right-hand-man, helping me baptize Consolata.
Distribution of Holy Communion.
Leonsi wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
After the solemn Christmas blessing, we were off to two more outstations. With the baptism, we were late, and now we were in a real hurry!

5th Sunday of Easter – April 28, 2024
May our readings this Sunday remind us to stay connected to the one vine that will truly bring us life, Jesus, the only true Vine.
I Abide in You
Jesus does not call us to be someone other than who we truly are. He knows who we are, because He abides in us, in that deepest place of our identity, of who we are.
