Jubilee Cross

Since October last year we have been celebrating a Jubilee Year of a Centenary of Christianity in Diocese of Musoma, since the establishment of the very first Catholic Mission in Nyegina in 1911 by White Fathers. One of the highlights of the program of the Jubilee is a peregrination of the Jubilee Cross in all parishes of the Diocese. Since two weeks the Cross has been visiting our deanery of Butiama, first Makutano Parish and today - an official handover of the Cross to Zanaki Parish. We have been there today...


I was impressed by the lively participation and the living faith of the faithful of Makutano Parish and the reception by the parishioners of Zanaki Parish. There was a Holy Mass of farewell of the Cross in the chapel of Mmazami, a quick lunch and then the car procession to Zanaki and the liturgy of reception in the parochial church in Zanaki Mission.

Here are a few pictures I took on my mobile to share with you the highlights of the day.
