Mission: Tanzania!

In the midst of turmoil, Fr. Raphael arrived in Tanzania for a visit to learn about Formation and Vocation work being done there.

We are short of rooms; in fact, right now we have only one room with one bed in it for guests. So, we wanted to try to remedy this in some way.

Next up for cleaning were the windows in the dining room and kitchen area.

Many seminarians have returned from their summer pastoral placements, but the university year doesn’t begin for another month. So we decided to clean and refurbish the Formation House.

Please keep our members, seminarians, novices and all those connected with the Congregation of the Resurrection in Tanzania, in your prayers. 

Fr. Jim had the joy of visiting with Fr. Andrzej Duda and the novices who live in Buhemba.

On September 15, we welcomed 12 young men who are “aspiring” to join the Tanzanian Mission of the Congregation of the Resurrection.

While the 2024-2025 novices were professing their first vows in Buhemba, seven seminarians renewed their vows in Morogoro.

Nine young men from Tanzania completed their year-long novitiate in Buhemba and professed their first vows in the Congregation.

In the midst of work and prayer, it is important to find time to celebrate the people and occasions that God has placed in our lives.

On May 1, 4 of our seminarians received the Ministry of Acolyte and 2 of our seminarians received the Ministry of Lector.

This year we decided that all the men in full-time ministry would set aside five days to meet for prayer, discussion and planning. We met in the middle, in Singida.
