On the Plains of Serengeti
On the Plains of Serengeti
On the Plains of Serengeti
by John Eybel
Maryknollers arrived in Musoma in 1946 to work side by side with the
White Fathers in what was then Mwanza Diocese. When Musoma was made a
Diocese in 1957, Maryknoller John Rudin (now deceased) became its first bishop.
While primary evangelization has been the first priority of Maryknoll in Musoma, Maryknoll priests, brothers, sisters and lay missionaries have also
built and worked in churches, dispensaries and schools from Bunda and the
Serengeti to the Kenya border. Now in Musoma are 4 Maryknoll priests and
brothers (less than 20% of their numbers in the 1970’s)
in apostolates that will soon be in the hands of Tanzanians.
