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. 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!

Maasai 3-13

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!

This day, as we pray for those who have already answered the call to be shepherds in the church, let us pray also that we may each be open to the vocation God has planned for us…

Along with commemorating Christ’s role as our shepherd, we celebrate and pray for shepherds in the Church. Accordingly, the Church joins together this Sunday to pray in a special way for priests and vocations to the priesthood.
