Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Tanzania
Patronal Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
Ushetu, Tanzania, February 17th, 2019
This past Sunday we celebrated the feast of the patroness of our parish in Ushetu, Our Lady of Lourdes. We moved the celebrations to Sunday the 10th, so that more people could participate. It was a large feast, and many of the faithful were able to come, even from the farthest villages. I think that in the Mass and the procession there were about a thousand people, or maybe more. Many of the people had to stay outside the church and participate from there. During the Mass 84 people were baptized, many of them adults who had finished their second year of catechumenate. These also received confirmation and their first communion. Before concluding the Mass we had the blessing of the new crosses for a few of the villages who had not yet received theirs…
Fr. Carlos Ferrero traveled from his mission in Cypress in order to help in our IVE mission in Tanzania for a month during which there was a lot of work, such as baptisms, confirmations, Novitiate classes, and of course, many Masses and preaching with great joy. We continue to pray for our parish priest and the fruits of his visit to Tanzania.. May God bless the IVE religious family.
