Abstract
T
his month we will be celebrating
the Paschal Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday
and Easter), the holiest and most
important days of the church’s
calendar. During these days, Tangaza
takes
some “sabbath” time,
away
from its usual business, in
order
to reflect and enter more
deeply into the mystery of God’s
merciful love for us in Christ.
We our reminded that our call
to “transform lives” is not just
about helping people get a better
degree or a high-paying job, but about helping all
of
us enter
more deeply into the transformative power
of
the resurrection. Like Jesus, each
of us individually
and
Tangaza
as a whole must be constantly undergoing
the “dying and rising” process that leads to new life. As announced at our recent Tangaza Day celebra-
tions (March 24), Dr. Beatrice Churu and Dr. Andrew Lujuo
have
finished
their
terms
as
Deputy
Principal
Academic
and
Deputy Principal Student Life. We
are deeply grateful
for
their extraordinary
service,
and we hope that they will
continue their contribution to Tangaza in other ways as we
move forward. Meanwhile, Fr. Selvam Sahaya, SDB, has been named as incoming “Deputy
Vice Chancellor Academic and
Student Affairs”, while Fr. Daniel
Karau, as the college chaplain, will
assume many of Dr. Lujuo’s former
duties as we await some restructuring
of the Student Life Office. We
wish them both great success, and
we promise them our full support.
The Governing Council also hopes
to make progress very soon on filling
the positions of Vice-Chancellor
and
Deputy
Vice-Chancellor
Administration
and
Finance, as
well as
choosing the Dean of the School of Arts and Social Sciences
All of these developments are a sign of our increasing
readiness for a university charter.
We
know
there
are
even
more changes
ahead, and
some
may
be
very
difficult, but we have confidence in the One who
leads us. At Tangaza Day we distributed a card with a
“Prayer for Tangaza”. We hope that you will use it often,
and continue to keep Tangaza
in
your prayers,
that
we may follow the Lord wherever he is leading us.
