| dc.description.abstract | T he past month has been extremely busy. Regarding Tangaza’s application for a university charter, on 20 November 2015 we finally managed to submit all of the remaining required documents to the Commission for University Education. We were told that the Commission is already committed to other tasks until Christmas, but that they hope to get back to us early next year to begin scheduling inspections, giving us feedback and so on. So we are very grateful that one major step in the process is complete. Our conversations with Marist International University College, about possible modes of partnership, are also ongoing. But perhaps the most important event was one we hadn’t initiated ourselves, namely, Pope Francis’s visit to Kenya during our last week of classes. In order that the Tangaza family could be free to attend the public Mass on November 26, we closed the college on that day and shifted the Thursday classes to the following Monday. Tangaza was well represented during the three days. Fr. Patrick Mwania, Dean of the School of Theology, was one of the commentators on NTV. Many of our priest-lecturers concelebrated, and many religious connected with Tangaza were at the St. Mary’s gathering, where our Fr. Fe- lix Phiri spoke as head of RSCK. Our choir sang at the Mass and at the meeting with the youth in Kasarani. Our students volunteered, and were among the few selected to serve near the main altar, because of Tangaza’s good reputation. The college’s name was mentioned several times, and the large candle-holder we made and donated (shaped like the map of Kenya and painted in the colours of the Kenyan flag) featured prominently in Kasarani. We ran an advert welcoming the pope in the Daily Nation. We even had a stone blessed by Pope Francis which we hope to position prominently, with a plaque, somewhere within the compound. All in all, it was a graced moment for Tangaza and for Kenya. May the blessings of the Pope’s visit continue to enrich us! And may you all have a most blessed Christmas and happy New Year! | en_US |
