Abstract
am very happy to
greet you all in this
first issue of Tangaza
Update of this year
2005. Thanks to the
help of every member
of the College and our
esteemed benefac
tors, Tangaza College
is on the move
steadily and slowly
growing, offering a
very valuable service to the Church and Society. We
are grateful to God for sustaining this College and guiding it to fulfill its mission for the Church and society at
large .
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. During the month
of January we kept the week of prayer for Christian
unity, keeping alive in our hearts the desire and prayer
of Jesus: "That they may all be one" (Jn 17:21). We
keep up our enthusiasm for the unity of the Churches
and ecclesial communities, and make sure that Tangaza
as a whole (both students and staff) are ecumenically
sensitive, well-informed and committed to the cause of
Christian unity.
Mary Immaculate Library. By now all must have learned
that the Mary Immaculate Library from the Vincentians
has come in without any damage and is now safely in
the Library Space of lmani House. Work in the Library
is progressing. Right now we are placing the books on
the shelves; after that computers (30 of them) will be
placed for the library users. In view of the Library, we
will also get a generator for lmani House.
Tangaza Day. This year's Tangaza Day will be on
Wednesday 23rd March 2005. We shall have the offi
cial opening of the Mary Immaculate Library on that
day. Fr. Thomas McKenna (Provincial of Vincentian
Eastern Province of the United States) and Fr. Aiden
Rooney will join us for the occasion. Right Reverend
Bishop David Kamau, one of the auxiliary bishops of
the Archdiocese of Nairobi will be the main celebrant.
Students Hostel (for women). We hope to begin the
construction of the Hostel for lay women and Religious sisters soon. We were delayed in the processing
of the documents, which we hope will be ready shortly.
Unfortunately, due to the shortfall of funds, the plans
for the play-fields have been shelved for the time-being. Hopefully it is not shelved forever!
Dear members of the College, I thank you for your
commitment and sense of belonging to the College.
We are here for the Church's mission, which is the
mission of Christ and that of God himself. Tangaza
College is a wonderful witness of that unity in life and
mission of so many religious communities embracing
other consecrated and lay people, in our fragmented
world, religious and secular. May you be blessed in all
your undertakings for the Kingdom!
