Sisters of Our Lady of Usambara is a growing congregation of African nuns over 600, whose work is caring for the needs of the poorest and most deprived people in the northeastern region of Tanzania. Rt. Rev. Bishop Eugene Arthurs founded the congregation in collaboration with Precious Blood Sisters CPS to address the needs of the local church within the diocese. To date the Sisters have expanded services outside of the diocese. Their areas of ministries include teaching religious education to young people; providing services to the poor and the sick, and educating young women in schools and colleges. Sister Servatrix will be speaking at all of the Masses at SML parish the weekend of July 14 and 15.
