News and Highlights! McKenna Snow, C'23, just published a much-redacted version of her final paper from my PHGE Masanobu Fukuoka and Regenerative Agriculture Course in Front Porch Republic: A Beautiful Farm? - Front Porch Republic.

These benefits and this healing can only begin to happen when beauty is allowed once again on the farm. One cannot truly have a good farm without it.

Seminary in Morogoro)

Update on Fr. Jim - enjoy! Good things are happening in Tanzania, and I have been happy to be a small part of it, visiting four times, and, together with the other members of the General Council, caring for the needs of our men there, and assisting them with formation and pastoral plans and activities. The Tanzania Mission comes directly under the Roman House.

Vitalis and Joseph will continue their studies in Theology, having already received a Degree in Education and Philosophy from Jordan University in Morogoro. The profession of Perpetual Vows makes them future candidates to the (transitional) Diaconate and Priesthood. There are many requests for teachers in Catholic schools, including the Resurrection Pre and Primary School in our Buhemba Parish.

Construction of a high school has also begun there. While in Morogoro I also visited a property which was financed by the United States of America Province, on which we have plans to construct other buildings for formation purposes. So far, only
a wall has been constructed around the property, to protect it from intruders or squatters. We have other religious community neighbors, and look forward to developing this new site for the formation of Tanzanian Resurrectionists.

Please keep our young men in formation and their Formators in your prayers, as well as the Resurrectionist priests and brothers working in our parishes in Butiama, Our Lady of the Precious Blood of Jesus, and Buhemba, Saint John Paul II, in the Diocese of Musoma. We have invitations from other Dioceses, as well as Musoma, to serve the local Church, which will be considered as personnel become available.
