Celebration of Tanzanian Independence Day


It has been a tradition for the Tanzanians living in Jinja, Uganda to gather together and celebrate their independent. The function is normally coordinated by students of different communities studying at Philosophy Center of Jinja. This year it was celebrated at a fantastic way in which other members from secondary school were invited. The function was opened by mass celebrated by Rev. Fr. Peter CMF on Christ the King. The center message was to keep united and always remember what has brought us here.

After the celebration of the Eucharist members relaxed by chatting, making funs and taking group photos, meanwhile some invited guests were arriving such as Fr.Oswald and Fr. Yago Abeledo from the society of Missionaries of Africa. Their presence made the day colorful which was more visible by their speeches. Member also, used the gathering to know more each other. The activities accompanied by delicious food and drinks.

Moreover, this was the time to appoint new leaders where Benedicto Charles(CMF) was chosen as a new chairman, Augustine Kullaya as new bursar and Christian Ngoitanile as new secretary. The part was enjoyable and many appreciated. Members had opportunity to dance together especially Tanzanian songs which was the last section. After all the function was closed by final blessings by Fr. Peter.

PCJ ANTHEM

In the spirit of greater service to the people,
You respond to the needs of the Church in Africa,
You open the gates of higher intellectual pursuit
And give spiritual nourishment.

PCJ, you are great, we salute!

The harvest is so great but the workers are few,
But for us who have tried to respond,
You instil in our hearts
The missionary zeal and the prophetic role
To be ministers of our land, Africa.

PCJ, you are great, we salute!

There are so many gifts, so many charisms,
But you put them into fusion to read the signs of the times.
You unite the diverse richness of
Different religious Congregations
To be of service to the world.

PCJ, you are great, we salute!
PCJ, you are great, we salute!
