SABS Presence in East Africa
“You should strive to make the Eucharistic Lord known, loved and adored by all, always and everywhere” (F.C.1). Deeply inspired by the words of our founder, we go forward to all nations to live the Eucharistic life in its fullness and thus to become the bread broken, for others and lead others to the bread of life. (Jn. 6 :25)
Origin
African Mission was a dream of our congregation. It was explored, explained entrusted, and worked out. In 1994 Mother Felista, the Superior General, and the Vicar General Sr. Thecla visited East Africa to assess the possibilities of our missionary activities. Based on what they have seen and learned, they formulated the vision for the East African mission. The plan was to have a central house and a number of houses that could be monitored from the center. In the beginning, different provinces started communities in different dioceses. Later the communities are mixed up gradually and we started flourishing. God blessed our venture and that is the success of African Mission. In 2008 the mission was erected as a Region and taking into account the remarkable growth of the mission, the region is further raised to the status of a province in 2016 with the name ‘SION Province East Africa’. Together we grow towards the Eucharistic amazement, enjoying success and failures, joys and sorrows, poverty and richness. Our wealth is the dedicated, hardworking sisters.
