THE SHRINE OF THE VIRGIN MARY QUEEN OF KAWEKAMO

The Arch Diocese of Mwanza we have the Kawekamo Shrine which has been approved and placed under the protection of the Virgin Mary Queen of Kawekamo. The origin of the Kawekamo Shrine is a historic event of St. John Paul II, 1990. Following the visit, Kawekamo remains a "living memory" of the St: Pope's arrival in Tanzania. In 2000 during the celebration of the Great Jubilee of Kawekamo it was declared the capital of the annual pilgrimage centers in Tanzania

MADHABAHU YA BIKIRA MARIA MALKIA WA KAWEKAMO:

Jimbo kuu la Mwanza tunayo Madhabahu ya Kawekamo ambako imeidhinishwa na kuwekwa chini ya ulinzi wa Bikira Maria Malkia wa Kawekamo. Asili ya Madhabahu ya Kawekamo ni tukio la kihistoria la ziara ya Baba Mtakatifu Yohane Paulo II, nchini Tanzania mnamo mwaka 1990. Kufuatia ziara hiyo, Kawekamo bado ni "kumbukumbu hai" ya kuwasili kwa Papa nchini Tanzania.

CORE VALUES

Worship
God initiates a relationship with us. In this relationship, we experience God in our lives and seek to put God first. We come to God as a person and as an assembly. We respond to God in our relationship with adoration, praise, petition, and thanksgiving. We do this as a person and as an assembly. We do this in sacraments and in personal devotion. [Confer: the Letter to the Hebrews, Sacrosanctum Concilium].

KUABUDU

Mungu huanzisha uhusiano na sisi. Katika uhusiano huu, tunampata Mungu katika maisha yetu na tunamtafuta kumtanguliza Mungu. Tunayatenda haya kwa mtu mmoja mmoja na kwa mikutano. Tunamtangaza Mungu katika uhusiano wetu na kuabudu, kusifu, kuomba, na kutoa shukrani. Tunafanya hivyo katika sakramenti na kwa kujitolea kibinafsi. [Rejelea: Barua kwa Waebrania, “Sacrosanctum Concilium”].

Body of Christ
God has made us into a single people, a people who acknowledge God in truth and serves God in holiness. We are a community of faith participating in the community of Christ. Together we strive to be Christ to each other, and with each other we are Christ to the world. [Confer: Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Ephesians 1:22-23,]

Mungu ametufanya tuwe watu wamoja, watu wanaomkubali Mungu kwa kweli na kumtumikia Mungu kwa utakatifu. Sisi ni jamii ya imani inayoshiriki katika jamii ya Kristo. Pamoja tunajitahidi kuwa Kristo kwa kila mmoja, na kwa kila mmoja sisi ni Kristo kwa ulimwengu.

 [Rejea: Warumi 12: 3-8; 1 Wakorintho 12: 12-31; Waefeso 1: 22-23.]

Faith Based Understanding
In the community of Christ, we strive to understand who God is. In the following Holy words our “faith seeks understanding.” Our understanding is more than intellectual. It is learning God’s ways and living God’s ways. It is being formed into a person and a people who show Jesus Christ in our head (intelligence), heart (emotions) and hands (actions). [Confer: Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:6-16]

UELEWA WA KIIMANI

Katika jamii ya Kristo, tunajitahidi kuelewa Mungu ni nani. Katika maneno Matakatifu yafuatayo "imani yetu inatafuta ufahamu." Uelewa wetu ni zaidi ya uelewa wa kiakili. Ni kujifunza njia za Mungu na kuishi njia za Mungu. Inaundwa kuwa mtu na watu ambao wanaonyesha Yesu Kristo katika kichwa chetu (akili), moyo wetu (hisia) na mikono yetu (vitendo). [Rejea: Warumi 12: 2; 1 Wakorintho 2: 6-16]
Love
Jesus says, “For I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.” (John 13:15) “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) Because of the love of Christ in us, we reach out to others in love. Together we serve by being courteous, respectful, humble, obedient, and loyal. We appreciate the value and worth of others. We strive to be forbearing, patient, and forgiving in the face of suffering, persecution, and misunderstanding.

[Confer: Romans 12:9-21; 1 Corinthians 12:31b-13:13]

Upendo

Yesu anasema, "Kwa maana nimewapa mfano wa kufuata, ili kama vile nilivyowafanyia ninyi, nanyi pia fanyeni." (Yohana 13:15) "Hivi ndivyo watu wote watajua kwamba ninyi ni wanafunzi wangu, ikiwa mnapendana." (Yohana 13:35) Kwa sababu ya upendo wa Kristo ulio ndani yetu, tunawafikia wengine kwa upendo. Pamoja tunahudumu kwa kuwa wenye adabu, wenye heshima, wanyenyekevu, watiifu, na waaminifu. Tunathamini UTU na thamani ya wengine. Tunajitahidi kuwa wavumilivu, na wenye kusamehe mbele ya mateso, na kutokuelewana.

[Rejea: Warumi 12: 9-21; 1 Wakorintho 12: 31b-13: 13]
