Education
Education is the most effective weapon in the fight against poverty, ignorance, disease and social vices plaguing the African continent. In East African countries, education in all its forms constitutes a pressing need. For this reason, the Jesuits of Eastern African Province have made a significant commitment to education in South Sudan, Ethiopia Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya, albeit still a fraction of what it needs to be.
Social Justice and Communication
The Jesuits of Eastern African Province realize the value of social justice and peace building linked with Christian faith. For this reason, our social and communication ministry, through the Jesuit Hakimani Centre, is dedicated to the study and action on issues linking Christian faith to social justice and peace building in East Africa. Through Radio Kwizera, West Tanzania, Jesuits in Eastern African Province serve millions of people at the margins of society and fosters hope through dialogue and peaceful reconciliation in the community.
Retreats and Spiritual Direction
The Goal of our life is to live with God forever. God, who loves us, gave us life. Our own response of love allows God’s life to flow into us without limit. All the things in this world are gifts from God, Presented to us so that we can know God more easily and make a return of love more readily.
Parish Ministry
From its very beginning, the Society of Jesus is faithful and committed to promoting the Christian faith through pastoral ministries that include: celebrating the Holy Eucharist (Mass), giving lectures and sermons, catechism to children and adults, hearing confessions and providing spiritual direction. Our pastoral service in parishes and elsewhere has been a significant dimension of the Jesuit mission in Eastern Africa Province. We run vibrant parishes with a variety of pastoral, formation and service programs. All our parishes give emphasis to ‘community’ and thus have dynamic Small Christian Communities.
Team Works Makes the Dream Work!
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings
of spring which enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence
in this spot.
