Peramiho Newsletter Peramiho Newsletter January – April 2020 Our Pandemic Situation While hospitals in other parts of the world were overflowing with patients infected with the coro- na virus in the early part of year 2020, life in Tanzania was basically as it was—peaceful and laid back. Many citizens were aware of the pan- demic but did not have clear picture of its effect on the patients, the frontliners, and the society as a whole. Priory Election Chapter Postponed In the priory house, the initial virus scare came when the government reported the first infected case last March 15th. Around that time Sr. Grace Mujuni, subprioress and priory treasurer, was in Dar Es Salaam which is 1,085 kilometers from Peramiho. She was there to purchase com- munity and school needs, and to welcome Sr. Lumen Gloria Dunca and Sr. Katharina Mtitu at the airport. They were scheduled to facilitate the election chapter on March 20-21. Due to the travel ban, the Generalate decided to postpone the election.

The water volume was just too much that the Likingo Hydroelectric power plant, estab- lished by the St. Benedict Abbey in 1986 and which supplies electricity to the mission area got destroyed on the last week of January. The two turbines got submerged in flood water and were unable to generate power. Sr. Deogratia Mkulu, an electrical engineer who works and teaches at the Peramiho Vocational Hydroelectric facility and and Trade School’s electrical workshop, ex- the submerged turbines plained to the community that due to the serious damages, the priory will have to connect to the government-run electric company. This would mean higher cost and therefore, would need more mindfulness among the sisters in the use of electrical gadgets and appliances. This year, Sr. Faustina Chiwalala, a final pro- fessed sister, is enrolled in the abbey-run school with concentration on Domestic Electri- cal Installation. She is being trained by Sr. De- ogratia so that they could help together in im- proving the services to those who come to gain Sr. Deogratia, electrical engineer, examining one of similar skills and help in the electrical mainte- the turbines at the St. Benedict electrical workshop nance and repair needs of thepriory. where she works as supervisor and instructor.

This is her second time to Sr. Faustina, learning the skills at the St. Benedict electrical workshop from Sr. Deogratia. come and avail of such training. Postulants’ Cook-out Day On 28 March 2020, the postulants spent their time outdoors wearing their comfortable attire and prepared traditional food/dishes from their respective tribes or regions. This is an annual activity of the postulants who are ending their first year. Sr. Christiana Lwiva, the postulant directress, consider this activity as a way of getting to know one another better. She contributed her region’s way of baking bread without using an oven. Some dishes include chicken, beans, fish, leafy vegetables, rice, peas, and of course, ugali (maize flour). Mother Prioress Ruth and some sisters joined the postulants in their evening meal and partook of the special dishes. 3 Pan-African Junior Intensification Program Extension The Pan-African Junior Intensification Program Due to the corona virus outbreak, however, the was scheduled from December 16, 2019 until departure of our sisters for Namibia and Uganda March 7, 2020.

  • Transnationale Architekturen
    Christine Egger Transnationale Architekturen Benediktinermission, Räume und Repräsentationen Abstract: Transnational Architectures. Benedictine Missions, Spaces and Repre- sentations. Intending to combine missionary activity and monastic monk- hood, in 1884 the Missionary Benedictines of St. Ottilien were founded. From Bavaria the Congregation tried to take Christianity into the world, beginning in colonial „German East Africa“ (present-day Tanzania). Right from the start the Catholic mission society was a trans-local, trans-regional, and trans-nati- onal organisation. One activity demonstrated the complexity and ,efficacy‘ of its global network: building cathedrals and churches. The author offers the thesis, that sacral architecture was embedded within the – theoretically spea- king – ‚missionary space‘. It contributed aesthetically, mentally, spiritually and sensuously to an imagined community of the Benedictine missions. Key Words: Roman Catholic Church, Missionary Benedictines of St. Ottilien, Transnational History, Sacral Architecture, Missionary Spaces Einleitung „In der ganzen Apostelgeschichte ist nichts zu lesen, dass die Apostel Kir- chen gebaut haben oder Kirchenbausorgen hatten! […] Wie ich von daheim auszog und ins ‚Land der Heiden‘ ging, war unter meiner Ausrüstung auch ein kleiner Koffer. Darin war alles verstaut, was ein Pfarrer braucht, um die heilige Messe feiern zu können. ‚Sanduku la maagano‘ (Bundeslade) nennen unsere Christen diesen Koffer […].

  • PERAMIHO NEWSLETTER January – April 2019
    PERAMIHO NEWSLETTER January – April 2019 SISTERS PREPARE FOR THE 18TH PRIORY CHAPTER The Peramiho Priory had a taste of the fruit of the 13th General Chapter when our prioress, Mother Ruth Bartonico, scheduled an assembly for all the Sisters last December 27-28, 2018 for a feed- back on the highlights and message of the General Chapter. She was assisted by our delegates Sr. Gloria Haule and Sr. Katharina Mtitu (who was elected general councilor). On February 20-22, all Sisters from the three communities gathered again for a workshop, orga- nized by the Ongoing Formation Team with the theme “Unity In Diversity”, facilitated by Sr. Marga- ret, who is a member of the Congregation of the Assumption Sisters of Nairobi. She led the sisters to reflect on the different aspects of the SELF. A short video about knowing oneself better, entitled “River Me,” was shown to them. She also talked about spirituality and charism which helped the sis- ters’ discussion on the Message of the 18th General Chapter. On the 23rd, Mo. Prioress and the Sisters in charge of the priory’s ministries gave an update on the status of the Priory and of its vari- ous ministries, respectively. Five Sisters were appointed by Mother Ruth to plan the preparations for the 18th Priory Chapter scheduled on May 17-23, 2019. The members of this Preparatory Commission (PrepCom) imme- diately discussed plans to help all the Sisters understand more deeply the message of the chapter so that they can participate well in the implementation of the General Chapter mandates though their proposals.

  • Habari Nairobi – Priory June 2016
    HABARI NAIROBI – PRIORY JUNE 2016 I want to say thank you to all Sisters of Nairobi Priory for the beautiful welcome when I arrived in Karen. It was good to hear the words: ‘ We are your home’. Once more I heard the Lord telling me: “ Get up, stand and go out.(1Kings 19:15)”. Pope Francis says: “The Christian is standing, so as to welcome God in patient “silence”, in order to hear his voice and “go out” to proclaim Him to others, knowing that faith is always “an encounter”. These three attitudes, encourage and revive the lives of all those who feel overwhelmed by fear in the most difficult moments. We know that faith is neither a theory nor a science: it is an encounter. Faith is “an encounter with the living God, with God who lives, the Creator, the Lord Jesus, with the Holy Spirit, it is an encounter”. I hope that we are standing together to hear and welcome His voice in order to go out to proclaim Him to others. Sr.Rosa Maria WELCOMING SR.ROSA MARIA OSB We Nairobi priory has been looking forward for the arrival of our newly elected Prioress Sr. Rosa Maria OSB since the closer of the election chapter on 13th March. On 3rd May 2016 our dreams were realized, this the day when our new prioress stepped on the Kenyan soil though not for the first time. The plain which Sr. Rosa Maria boarded landed at 3:30 pm at The Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The entire community waited patiently for her arrival at the priory house, Karen.

  • Caritas Award Recognizes Commitment to Service and Justice
    APRIL/MAY 2008 communityA newsletter for the faculty and staff of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University Caritas Award Recognizes Commitment to Service and Justice CSB and SJU presented the Caritas Award to Maya Main, CSB class of 2008; Ben DeMarais, SJU class of 2008; Christine Kustelski, CSB class of 1996; and Paul Conroy, SJU class of 2005, on April 14 at SJU. The award recognizes their commitment to service and justice. Bernie Evans, a CSB/SJU faculty member in the theology department, gave remarks. The Caritas Award was established in 1995 with support from an anonymous donor. Two students (one from each campus) each receive $500, and the alumna and alumnus each receive $1,500 to donate in support of an organization’s service. Main, a CSB peace studies and psychology double major, pledged her donation to the Southside Boys and Girls Club in St. Cloud. Throughout her college experience, Main has worked with the youth at the Southside Club. While studying abroad in Guatemala as a junior, she facilitated a women’s self-esteem group in Cantel, a Mayan pueblo. In her final year at CSB, Main has volunteered with Casa Guadalupe, Fast Forward Youth Program and the St. Cloud Correctional Facility. DeMarais, an SJU physics major, pledged his donation to the Winona Catholic Worker. He has been involved in various campus ministry activities throughout his college years. He plans to volunteer internationally through the Saint John’s Benedictine Volunteer Corps in the coming year. Kustelski directed her donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Central Minnesota.
