Students

This kibanda (hut) was donated by friends and family in the USA upon my departure.

The computers were a result of gifts from US friends of SPCHS to Books for Africa.

I told Emmanuel's chemistry class in 2011 to come to my office when they hear about Avogadro's number -- he was waiting for me!

Donated instruments are being put to good use!

The Feast of Blessed Maria Teresia Ledóchowska, Patron of Dodoma's Jesuit Parish

Blessed Maria Teresia Ledóchowska is the patron of the Airport Parish. They celebrate her feast in a big way on the nearest Sunday, usually with the bishop in attendance.


"Glory to God in the highest"

The procession with the Book of the Gospels

Can you see the Book of the Gospels born on the head of the woman (look for the green in the middle)

Notice the incense in the brazier balanced on the head of the woman at left.

The offertory

The bishop receives the gifts

The bishop receives the gifts -- everything from eggs, to Coke, to soap, to goats!

The bishop was a headmaster: He loves to be with the youth.

Post Mass entertainment

Soon a Report

I just returned from 3 weeks in Tanzania, 2 of them in Dodoma. I look forward to sharing a report -- once I've recovered from 36+ hours it took to return!
