Mission: Tanzania!

The day before the 3rd Sunday of Advent, people started to prepare the grounds for Christmas in Butiama. This is taken VERY seriously,

The “atmosphere” for Christmas is very different from what we see in the Northern Hemisphere.

I thought I would use this edition to give you an idea of “home” for us in Tungi, a small village just outside of Morogoro. Some of the photos were taken with his drone!

Fr. Jim’s return to Tanzania coincided with the return of the seminarians for their new school year of studies.

After many weeks away Fr. Jim finished his travels and returned to Tanzania. Follow his last few days away and his welcome back in Tanzania.

I was able to visit St. Bernadette Parish in Severn, Maryland on the last weekend of July. I ministered at this parish for about 30 years.

Sunday, July 2 marked the anniversary of the death of our Founder, Bogdan Janski, in Rome, Italy. We walked to the church from where his funeral Mass was celebrated.

More pictures and news from the General Chapter in Rome.

It is great to be back…great to be back to writing for “Mission: Tanzania!” and great to back to Tanzania.

This summer the Canadian Province of the Congregation of the Resurrection agreed to finance the purchase of two new vehicles for the Mission in Tanzania. 

The final installment about Fr. Jim Donohue’s anniversary celebrations in Morogoro.

The presentation of the cake, as well as the cake cutting, and cake distribution is a big part of any celebration in Tanzania.
