Welcome! Karibu!

This blog ("web log") is compiled by Sister Patrice Colletti, SDS to share the stories of our four Sisters who sojourn in Tanzania this summer, June- July 2011. The information below is from their emails; we've edited it for clarity.

Blogs typically go in "reverse chronological order", with the most RECENT posting at the top. So, as you read along, you're reading "backwards" in time, with the most recently received and posted information first.

You can also receive these postings by email! This is an option you can select, but isn't required. Enter your email address where it says FOLLOW THIS BLOG BY EMAIL to set up your email to automatically get a copy of the posting each time a new one goes up. Then, you can read it on your email. You are always welcome to come here to read it as well!

Encounter Tanzania Group at Mkuranga
On Thursday June 17th, we took a trip north of Dar to the Salvatorian parish of Mkuranga.  They have many ministries. We visited and took pictures of Ellen and I with the two Salvatorian sisters, the carpenter school, and the parish church (note the drums). One of the sister's is the sacristan. There is a picture of the whole encounter group,our three seminarian guides and the paster and two brothers in front of the sister's convent. The sister's gardens were impressive. They have kindergartens that were on winter holiday. We toured the dispensary with Brother Jeramiah, a recently graduated nurse. They have a tailor school and masonary training. We ended the visit with lunch which included a German volunteer doing his year of service.
