Serving one Church
Leadership and clergy
Bishops, priests and deacons serve within the whole people of God. Their ministry supports the Church’s unity, teaching, sacramental life and pastoral care; current local assignments and public contacts will be confirmed for the directory.
Ordained ministry within the Church
Christ is the head of the Church. Ordination entrusts particular responsibilities for the good of His people: the bishop serves the unity and faith of the local Church in communion with the other bishops; priests care for communities under their bishop; deacons serve within its worship and wider life. These ministries belong within the Church, alongside the prayer and service of all the faithful.
A parish priest can explain worship, preparation for Baptism and the Eucharist, confession and the catechumenate. For a visit, contact the community concerned to confirm its service times, meeting place and any arrangements that would help you take part.
Formation and shared responsibility in Tanzania
The Kindamali mission centre provides a setting for clergy to gather, study and discuss the pastoral questions of the communities they serve. The January 2026 mission account records a priests’ assembly addressing pastoral, liturgical and administrative matters. It also acknowledges the work of Sister Alexia and a translation committee in preparing the year’s practical guidance.
The parish directory brings these communities together with their local stories. Current assignments, service times and public contact details are being prepared for local confirmation.
