Our Order in Tanzania

We have received good news from the Vicarate of Tanzania: on July 7 and August 6, deacons Peter Carol Chami and Simon Rupoli will be ordained to the priesthood. On July 20, our brothers Hezron Michael Lucas, Cedrich Melkiory, Laurent Joseph, and Datius Prosper will make their first profession in Uyole-Mbeya (novitiate community).

We thank God for these vocations to the Teresian Carmel and for them, we ask for the protection of the Most Holy Virgin and St. Joseph.

The presence of the Order in Tanzania began with the building of a mission supported by all the provinces of India in 1983. Later, on May 8, 1992, the Province of Karnataka-Goa became responsible for the presence of the Teresian Carmel in the region. On March 20, 2002, the Regional Vicarate of Tanzania was created, dependent on that Province.
