St. Felista’s Parish News

Through a $7,500 grant from the Holy Cross Mission Center, St. Felista Parish in Utegi, Musoma, Tanzania, provided life-giving support to 250 impoverished elderly community members. The project ensured regular access to nutritious meals, essential medications, warm clothing, and healthcare. 

Located in Utegi-Musoma, Tanzania, St. Felista Parish was formally established in 2014 and has grown into a thriving community of over 2,500 families. Formerly a sub-parish of St. Bright Catholic Church in Kowaki-Musoma, the community has been using pews that were made in the 1960s and have been showing significant wear and tear from use over the years.

Located in Utegi-Musoma, Tanzania, St. Felista Parish constructed their main church structure in 2014 but it has remained unfinished for many years. The local Christian community (parishioners) has been working to complete the church building with the assistance from local contributions but has been met with little success.
