Announcements

 

FREE MOVIE SHOWING OF

FATIMA

A 10-year-old shepherd, Lúcia dos Santos, and her two young cousins, Francisco and Jacinta Marto, report having received apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fátima, Portugal, circa 1917. Their revelations inspire believers but anger officials of both the Catholic Church and the secular government, who try to force them to recant their story. As word of their prophecy spreads, tens of thousands of religious pilgrims flock to the site to witness what became known as the Miracle of the Sun.

Fr. Boby Thomas, Missionary from Tanzania

MCBS Mission in Tanzania
The Missionary Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (MCBS) is a religious order from India
working in Africa from 2009. At present 24 priests from our order serve in various ministries,
each aiming to uplift the dignity and well-being of the most vulnerable.


1. Feeding the Hungry: Every day, through our midday meal program, we feed 6,492
children. These meals not only nourish their bodies but also enable them to attend school
and concentrate on their studies, giving them hope for a better future.


2. Sheltering the Homeless: We build small houses for elderly and sick people who have
no one to care for them. These modest homes provide shelter from the elements and a
sense of security and dignity. In a world where the elderly are often forgotten,we remind
them that they are loved and valued.


3. Supporting Families: We provide food kits to 120 elderly people and poor families,
ensuring they have the necessities to survive.


4. Supplementary Tuition program: Additionally, our supplementary tuition and nutrition
program during weekends reaches 2,120 children who are preparing for national exams,
giving them the extra support they need to grow and thrive. These initiatives are lifelines,
offering stability and hope in times of great need.


5. Empowering Women: By providing fertilizers and seeds to women’s groups, we help
them cultivate their land, improve their harvests, and become self-sufficient. We also
distribute piglets, chickens, and lambs to poor families, enabling them to start small-scale
farming businesses. This not only improves their nutrition but also provides a source of
income, lifting them out of poverty.


6. Access to Clean Water: Access to clean and safe drinking water is a basic human right,
yet many in Tanzania go without it. Through rainwater harvesting tanks and open wells
we are helping communities access this vital resource.


7. Spiritual Nourishment: Our mission is not just about physical needs. We are deeply
committed to the spiritual needs of the people we serve. Through catechesis, the
celebration of the sacraments, and daily prayer, we bring the light of Christ to those who
may feel forgotten or abandoned. In every act of service, we strive to reflect the love of
God and the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. We work in 6 different dioceses in 8
parishes and 83 village churches.
