FATHER JAMES ALMASI TO LEAVE THE RONDO |
|
| |
Father James Almasi is leaving the Rondo on Tuesday, 14 July and moving to Mkuti Parish, a relatively new urban parish in Masasi Town.
Father James has been responsible for a number of outstanding achievements at the Rondo since his arrival in June 2007 and he will be sorely missed - especially by all the students and staff at the Junior Seminary and the ordinands and their families at St Cyprian's College. We wish him well in his new post. |

DIOCESE TO BE SPLIT |
|
| |
We have received confirmation that the Diocese of Masasi is to be split into two separate Dioceses - the Diocese of Masasi and the Diocese of Newala - later this year.
The Friends of Masasi will in fact support both Dioceses - as together they are the same as the original Diocese of Masasi |
