MISSIONARY COOPERATION PLAN

DIOCESE OF SAME

The Catholic Diocese of Same was inaugurated in 1977 and is comprised of two geographical Districts of Same and Mwanga in Kilimanjaro Region in Tanzania. Two-thirds of the Same Diocese is located on the leeward side of the mountain, making it dry and unsuitable for agriculture. 

Mission of the Diocese of Same:

--To provide an opportunity for education to children from families of the lowest standard of life, especially from the Maasai communities, who are facing the challenge of not getting an education.

--To provide healthy services to the people living in the villages by going to them by vehicle, together with doctors and nurses, and to build small clinics.

--Supply of water. The Diocese requests support to be able to finance the drilling of the boreholes to the semi-arid zones to get water for daily use, to build the reservoirs to preserve water, and to distribute clean water to the people.

                                                                                THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS & GENEROSITY!

COMING THIS FALL: Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Collection

This fall, our cluster parishes are excited to take part in Operation Christmas Child for the first time! Through this ministry of Samaritan's Purse, we will have the opportunity to share the love of Christ by sending gift-filled shoeboxes to children around the world along with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Although our collection will not take place until November 16^th–23^rd, now is the perfect time to begin gathering items. With back-to-school sales happening, it's an excellent opportunity to purchase school supplies such as notebooks, crayons, pencils, markers, scissors, and other classroom essentials that are especially appreciated in shoebox gifts. Consider setting aside a few items each time you shop. Small gifts can make a lasting impact in the life of a child and open the door to sharing the hope of the Gospel.
