About Vicariate of Tanzania
Through the hard work of the pioneers, the tiny seed of Carmelite mission was planted in the Tanzanian soil in 1983, which has today grown into a giant tree that is bearing much fruit, to the joy and satisfaction of everyone involved in the establishment of this Carmelite Mission. May St. Therese of the Child Jesus patroness of the Vicariate inspire and guide it so that it may touch many more lives.

JOURNEY OF GRACE
Voices from the Touched Hearts
Inspiring Stories of lives touched healed, and uplifted through the instrumentality of Discalced Carmelites in Tanzania.
Through their spiritual guidance and example, the Carmelites have taught me the transformative power of silence and prayer. Their emphasis on deepening one’s relationship with God through contemplative practices has had a profound impact on my own spiritual journey. They have shown me that in the midst of life’s busyness, there is a sacred space for quiet reflection and communion with the Divine.

As we celebrate 40 years of the presence of Discalced Carmelites in Tanzania, I want to offer a heartfelt testimony to the profound influence they have had on my life and the lives of countless others. The Carmelites, with their unwavering commitment to prayer, contemplation, and service, have been a beacon of light in our community. In a special way I admire their love, sacrifice, simplicity, humility, generosity and diligence in guiding souls to God. Their commitment to liturgy, teaching faith, and preaching the Word of God has truly been amazing.

The Carmelites’ dedication to service and their mission to reach out to those in need have also left an indelible mark on my heart. Their selfless acts of kindness, whether through providing education, contributing to the field of healthcare, or simply being a listening ear, have touched the lives of many and have inspired me to follow their example in serving others.
