The 4th of January, 2013, was really a day marking beginning a year
with blessings for Hanga Abbey. Monks were are happy to have their
fellow monk being ordained to deaconate as a step to priesthood. With
the need and shortage of priests in the community, this indeed is a very
good news to have more monks with capacity of serving the people of God
at the level of sacramental administration. We congratulate Frater Ansgar
and look forward to his ordination to priesthood. With him there were
four other men ordained to deaconate for the archdiocese of Songea.
Archbishop Norbert Mtega of the archdiocese ordained the five men.
