| dc.description.abstract | Once again we come to Advent, a time to start afresh. For me this year there is an additional dimension as I prepare to leave the college after eleven and a half years. I arrived in August I 997, having previously spent 2 years working in the parish of "Immaculate" in Kitale. I am grateful for my long experience in Tangaza from which I hope I have learned a lot. We often hear it said, and indeed I think it is true, that "Tangaza is unique." One of several things which makes Tangaza special is the central importance of a ministerial dimension in all our courses. I earnestly hope that this will never be forgotten. Ministry means service and the Tangaza community reaches out to give service in many ways. I think it is also important to recognise that many people over the years have given immense service to the college. The college has depended on the generosity of many people who one way or another give "a little bit extra." The little bit extra is of time, of talents, of skills, of energy, of dedication, of knowledge. This applies to religious and lay people, administration, supportive staff and teaching staff. This is a tradition which we here now have inherited and I believe it is one we must nurture and pass on. I am happy as I finish my term in the College to see that it is thriving and enthusiastically embracing new challenges and new opportunities in the future. As well as a commitment to service, we need to preserve our tradition of academic excellence and integrity. We owe it to our forebears in the College and we owe it to those who will come after us. I hope that the new liturgical year, beginning with the season of Advent will be a time of blessings and thanks giving for all members of the college and for their families and friends. Let our celebration of the Incarnation increase our commitment to the task which our college motto gives us: Tangaza fumbo la imani. Fr. Tim Redmond, SPS. | en_US |
