The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

The Adorer Missionary Sisters of the Poor is an emerging, vibrant religious community of women in Tanzania. Deeply in love with Jesus, we seek to grow more intimately with Our Lord Jesus and Master. We behold the majesty of the Blessed Trinity and in thanksgiving spend quality time every day in adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. We evangelize both in domestic and foreign missions, in the spirit of Jesus who came to bring the good news to the poor, set captives free and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. We do this by devotedly growing in intimacy with the Lord and embracing the Cross, living the Gospel, engaging in the ministries of the Church especially education at all levels, health and social services, catechizing and making a deliberate option to serve the poorest of the poor, the orphans and the marginalized.

To radiate God's Love to All - especially the Marginalized. Our vision is to increase people’s capacity and ability to embrace gospel values like: justice, credibility and love and to apply them in everyday situations so that they become a reflection of God on earth. We envision ourselves with the mission to bring every human person on earth to a personal encounter with Jesus the Lord. Through our ministries of prayer, Eucharistic adoration and promoting the same: evangelization, teaching, healing and social services, we bring the message of Good News to people. We envision our ministries as facilitating people’s encounter with Jesus so they can begin to tell their new story of the love of God! A moment of an encounter with Jesus is a moment of invitation to be who we are created to be: a child of God. It is a moment of conversion as it was for Zacchaeus, Matthew, Mary Magdalene and others. This is our hope for ourselves and those we lead to encounter Christ! We also envision ourselves to be humble servants of hope for the poor and make a deliberate option for them.

 In addition to the expected courses in reading, arithmetic, sciences, and writing, the students at St. John Vianney school are blessed to receive a strong Catholic faith formation. Moral theology, practical understanding, and living out the faith through daily prayer and selfless acts of giving help our children develop into mature, socially-responsible adults. Each year, we celebrate with the students and broader community as young children receive the Sacraments of Holy Eucharist, Penance, and Confirmation.

Our Lady of Fatima - Malowa Medical Dispensary is a Catholic institution operated by the Adorer Missionary Sisters of the Poor in the Diocese of Moshi, Tanzania. It was opened in 2013 for the care of the orphans and the local community. The facility has a small waiting area, filing room, two doctors, examination rooms, a small laboratory, one injection room, a wound treatment room, a pharmacy, and a classroom for 25 students. It is our goal to expand this to a nursing school and eventually a licensed medical school.

There is a Second Collection to support the important work & outreach of the Adorer Missionary Sisters. Please be generous to our Eucharistic Lord made Flesh & Blood in the children of Tanzania and served by the Sisters.

Nothing Less than saints for the Holy Family of God.

Holy Family, Adoring the Eucharistic Lord in the Poor, Pray for us.
