P.O.BOX 1421,
Mwanza, Tanzania.
The Arch Diocese of Mwanza we have the Kawekamo Shrine which has been approved and placed under the protection of the Virgin Mary Queen of Kawekamo. The origin of the Kawekamo Shrine is a historic event of St. John Paul II, 1990. Following the visit, Kawekamo remains a "living memory" of the St: Pope's arrival in Tanzania. In 2000 during the celebration of the Great Jubilee of Kawekamo it was declared the capital of the annual pilgrimage centers in Tanzania.
To empower parishioners to be guided by strong Christian ethics and morals.
To reach out to each other in a spirit of hospitality and compassion as we would welcome Jesus.
To strengthen the vital role and worshipers in building the Kingdom of God in the greater communities.
God initiates a relationship with us. In this relationship, we experience God in our lives and seek to put God first. We come to God as a person and as an assembly. We respond to God in our relationship with adoration, praise, petition, and thanksgiving. We do this as a person and as an assembly. We do this in sacraments and in personal devotion. [Confer: the Letter to the Hebrews, Sacrosanctum Concilium].
God has made us into a single people, a people who acknowledge God in truth and serves God in holiness. We are a community of faith participating in the community of Christ. Together we strive to be Christ to each other, and with each other we are Christ to the world. [Confer: Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 1:22-23,]
In the community of Christ, we strive to understand who God is. In the following Holy words our “faith seeks understanding.” Our understanding is more than intellectual. It is learning God’s ways and living God’s ways. It is being formed into a person and a people who show Jesus Christ in our head (intelligence), heart (emotions) and hands (actions). [Confer: Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16]
Jesus says, “For I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13:15) “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) Because of the love of Christ in us, we reach out to others in love. Together we serve by being courteous, respectful, humble, obedient, and loyal. We appreciate the value and worth of others. We strive to be forbearing, patient, and forgiving in the face of suffering, persecution, and misunderstanding.
[Confer: Romans 12:9-21; 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13]
