Profession of First Vows
Nine young men from Tanzania completed their year-long novitiate in Buhemba and professed their first vows in the Congregation.
Celebrations
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.
Ministries of Lector and Acolyte
On May 1, 4 of our seminarians received the Ministry of Acolyte and 2 of our seminarians received the Ministry of Lector.
Meeting in Singida
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.
Visit from Kevin Donelson – Part 2
Kevin said that he just wanted to spend time with me and the men in the Mission to see how we lived. God bless Kevin Donelson!
Visit to the Maasai – Part 4
As we gathered for Eucharist, I was informed that since I was the Superior of the Tanzanian Mission that I would be presiding in Swahili.
Visit with the Maasai – Part 3
The tour of our potential new Resurrectionist parish continued with Fr. Marek as our guide. There is a small elementary school, but with the distances of travel, there is a residence for students to stay during the week days.
Visit with the Maasai – Part 2
We ended the last Maasai blog when we were about to eat a good dinner of beef stroganoff!
Easter in Morogoro – Part 2
We planned a community celebration for Easter Monday. It was really a great day!
