75th ANNIVERSARY JUBILEE OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF DAR ES SALAAM; LET US BE MADE NEW BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
Church Cleaning Appreciation
We extend our sincere thanks to the St. Scholastica Small Christian Community (Jumuiya) who cleaned the church yesterday. A total of 13 members participated. Next week, it will be the turn of the St. Benedict Community, followed by the St. Agnes Community.
Contributions for Upcoming Clergy Appreciation
We continue to urge and request those Small Christian Communities that have not yet submitted their contributions of 100,000 Shillings to prepare for the brief reception congratulating the prospective Priests from our Parish to do so. Please submit your contributions to the Parish office as time is running very short heading toward their ordination.
Holy Childhood Holy Cross Pilgrimage
The Holy Cross of the Holy Childhood Association is currently at our Parish until June 24th and will depart on June 25th. The Cross has been within the St. Joseph Zone since yesterday, Saturday. Zone leaders are requested to strictly adhere to the schedule. Parents, please involve your children so they can venerate the Cross, pray the Holy Childhood prayers according to the Diocesan guide, and attend the Catechesis in large numbers as scheduled.
Evening Daily Masses
The Parish Priest was advised by some of the faithful to introduce evening Masses. Father Parish Priest approved this recommendation, and the service has already begun as of June 8th. The Mass will continue to take place every evening at 5:00 PM (Saa 11:00 Jioni). If attendance remains satisfactory, this arrangement will become permanent. We welcome everyone to these Masses.
