St. Francis Xavier Parish
St. Francis Xavier Parish was established more than 50 years ago with the intention of responding to the needs of the people of God in Mwanza, primarily through preaching the Gospel. The Parish is in the middle of the city of Mwanza and serves 13,000 parishioners with 28 Small Christian Communities. The Parish has a Youth Center that offers computer and language skills to young people from different religious backgrounds. It also has an outstation, Nyashana, a few kilometers from the Parish. Nyashana outstation runs an education Centre (Lubango Center) established with the aim of providing programs to empower the local women and youth. The Centre runs a nursery school, home craft training focusing on tailoring, cookery, jewelry making, and a cafeteria.
