CARMEL CHOIR COMPETITION 2014
The Kihonda Carmelite Fathers hosted a Choir Competition as a sign of evangelization for the Morogoro vicinity on the 13th December, 2014. The competition began with the invoking of God’s blessings by Rev. Fr. Marlon Rodrigues, the Regional Vicar of the Carmelites, Tanzania. Rev. Fr. Shabas Crasta, the Superior of the Carmelite Community of Kihonda, welcomed the gathering and introduced the chief guest Rev. Fr. Leander Jaka, the parish priest of Chalinze and the Director of the Education board of the Morogoro Diocese. Rev. Fr. Leander Jaka in his address, thanked and appreciated the Carmelite Fathers for the initiative taken to host this great event. ‘As Pope Francis calls us to read the signs of the time to evangelize the good news of Our Savior, this competition is one of such efforts and a very fitting way of drawing the people closer to Jesus and spreading the good news’ he said. Later he distributed the prizes to the winners of the Carmel Choir Competition and at the end Rev. Fr. Edwin Mushi thanked each and every one for making the event delightful one.
