News from Tanzania


Last Saturday, January 28, 2012  Frank and Karen renewed their wedding vows at the 7 a.m. Mass in the chapel at Makoko Language School near Musoma, Tanzania.  They were married in Springfield, Il on January 28, 1967, forty-five years earlier.  Father Edward, a missionary priest from Poland is the director of the language school and he says Mass every morning at the school at 7 a.m. There are six nuns and one priest, also studying Swahili.  They are from the Phillipines, Poland, Tanzania, South America, Chad and Nigeria. There are thirteen lay missionaries from the U.S.  Everyone will serve in Tanzania, except for one student who will be working in Kenya.  So far, we have  completed four weeks of sixteen of our studies. 
Hope all is well with you. 
Blessings, MGBWY
