The Catholic Diocese of Shinyanga was formed by Maryknoll in 1950 and Maryknollers have cultivated it with care for more than 70 years. Today the seeds that were planted so long ago continue to blossom with the better part of 100 seminarians in a recent year.

Given the region’s dependence on agriculture and the keeping of animals, however, local contributions to support the Church and the studies of the seminarians are quite low. This dynamic makes Maryknoll’s support even more important to keep the virtuous cycle going for another 70 years.

Your gift can help continue Maryknoll’s mission to raise up the Diocese of Shinyanga.
