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. Here is Fr. Marek with some of the children.
This is the small kitchen where food is cooked for the primary school students.
This is the pump in the well that produces the water. It was funded by a 1% tax in Poland.
This is the church where people gather to worship.
Cement blocks are made for future improvements in the parish.
It seems that machinery is always an interesting enticement for men!!!! This pick-up is still working even though it looks like it survived WWII.
Fr. Daniel has dreams of driving this tractor throughout the Massai world!!!!
And, of course, the motorcycle, which is the vehicle of choice in Tanzania. This motorcycle is owned by the catechist and translator of 25-years of service. He had brought his offering for Mass…two bottles of Pepsi.
Time to relax before Mass begins!
Mass is about to begin. The people have arrived. Two motorcycles went out to ferry people to Mass through the muddy paths. It was close to starting time. I was still thinking that I did not have anything in particular to do. How foolish of me!

As we mark the halfway point of the season of Lent, may our journeys through this spiritual desert bring us closer to God and renew us in spirit.
Thirst
It is unlikely if you are reading this that you have not had a taste of the “living water” that Jesus is speaking of, the deeper satisfaction that comes from encountering God.
New Parish in Dar es Salaam
The Resurrectionists in Tanzania were awarded a new parish in Dar es Salaam! This is the first new parish that we have secured in the last 10 years. It is a sign of growth!
