Mission: Tanzania!

As Fr. Jim Donohue, CR returns to Tanzania this fall, a new formation year begins. With 36 Resurrectionists, Seminarians and Aspirants, the Formation House is full!

Fr. Evandro was able to meet with each of the 10 perpetually professed Resurrectionists, 34 of the men in initial formation, and even a few of the 10 men who are joining us as postulants this year.

Next Fr. Evandro travelled to Butiama to visit the current novices and welcome nine new novices!

Fr. Evandro began his personal visitation with all the members of the formation house in the midst of the examinations and also the preparation for the perpetual vows of Selestine Matutu, C.R. on August 1.

Fr. Evandro Miranda Rosa, C.R. conducted his 2026 canonical visitation of the Tanzanian Mission this past summer. He started by visiting the new Resurrectionist parish in Dar es Salaam.

After clearing the material over the surface of the road, we realized that we still needed more “filler.” This is where the Blessed Sacrament Sisters—our neighbors—came to our aid.

The road outside the Formation House had become almost impassible due to the rainy season and a construction project. It would take a team effort to level it out again!

Animals are a part of everyday life in Tanzania, even at the Seminary!

The Tanzanian Postulants recently thanked Br. Mosses, CR for his guidance, as they finish their postulancy, and everyone celebrated Pentecost, including dancing!

Today we hear an update on a variety of news from Tanzania, about the Postulants, classes at Jordan University and a new arrival.

The seminary in Morogoro recently had to take a team approach to dealing with some maintenance issues in their kitchen area.

On Friday, May 1, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, our three first-year theology seminarians—Cleophace, Jerome, and Audax—received the ministry of lector and our two second-year theology seminarians—Livinus and Valentino—received the ministry of acolyte.
