Growth in the number of couples and priests “encountered” in Mwanza and in the number of those who take up team leadership roles – are measures of success.
Fr. John Eybel’s project helps to subsidize Marriage Encounter Weekends for those in Mwanza Archdiocese who cannot pay the total cost of a weekend. This project is for couples in Mwanza Archdiocese coming from parishes and the catechetical school for couples’ weekends at several suitable centers in Mwanza. It also covers educational materials for the instructors used during the seminars.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, [love] is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
