Reflections on Tanzania
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Nick and Anna May Castricone, parishioners of
Corpus Christi in Stone Mountain, were among those couples from the
United States taking part in the “Familia 74” Assembly held in Tanzania.
The world-wide conference drew some 250 delegates from 52 countries
and was sponsored by the International Christian Family Movement. Mrs.
Castricone recalls some of her memories of a visit to a village in Tanzania.
The Castricones are available for a slide presentation and summary of
their experiences.)
BY ANNA MAY CASTRICONE
It was mid-morning when our small group of four couples from England, India
and the United States arrived at the village of Ndali, high in the mountainous district
of Iringa, approximately 300 miles from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
We were most anxious to begin this encounter experience with the Ndali people.
It was one of five stages of movement provided within the “Familia 74” Assembly, a
world-wide conference of 250 delegates from 52 countries.

These delegates came
together to study and take
effective action on
family-related topics. My
husband and I were invited
by the International Christian
Family Movement (an
organization whose purpose is
to support and strengthen the
family unit within a Christian
framework to attend this
world assembly.
The village to which we
had been assigned has been
operative for three years, and
comprises about 200 people
engaged in communally
developing their resources
through tobacco and cassava
production.
While still very poor
economically - a two-room
schoolhouse educating
children and adults, a first-aid
station, a village council and
increased tobacco production
have been the results of their
labor.
While it was still cool, we
were invited to walk through
the village. As we began, we
were followed at a safe
distance by many of the
young children, the youngest
hiding behind the others.
There were smiles and giggles
as we communicated with
them; some were brave
enough to respond.
We viewed with interest
the mud huts with thatched
roofs and some of the newer
concrete homes, a few of
which were whitewashed.
One home was very
attractively decorated with
vividly painted flowers and
vines, reflecting a very proud
owner.
Although the ground was
dry and dusty and the grass
very sparse, a large variety of
wild flowers and bushes gave
the village some color. After
viewing the homes, we
quickly made our way to the
fields where most of the
adults were already at work
in the tobacco sheds -
grading, sorting and baling.
After we were introduced
to the chairman of the village
council, I met with a group of
the women. One of them, an
older woman, was very small
her shoulders drawn
together, dusty and barefoot,
with a worn kitange wrapped
around her (the kitange is the
typical native dress). I greeted
her, using the few Swahili
words I knew, while
hesitating to clasp her right
hand, which was only a
stump.
We exchanged a few more
pleasantries and began to
work in the shade of one of
the sheds, untying the leaves

from long poles. After some
time had passed, she pointed
to my jeans and asked of the
other women what manner of
dress was that. I motioned to
her to wait while I went back
to the lorry which brought us
to the village. I had in my bag
a kitange purchased in town
that morning, and I showed it
to her while wrapping it
around my waist.
She looked at me, puzzled,
and shook her head. I tried it
around the other side, but her
face was twisted in
disapproval. I then held out
the material to her for her to
arrange it properly. She
agreed, and proceeded to
wrap the kitange around my
body from the chest down, in
the more traditional way.
Then she stepped back and
took in the results of her
work: “Ah,” she said,
obviously pleased. I heard
other “ah’s” and upon
looking around, I saw that
many of the men, women,
and children had stopped
their work and had been
observing all of this. They
were laughing and much in
agreement with the old
woman’s work.
Later that afternoon, as we
rested on the dusty ground,
she related to me through
gestures and sounds that
many of her babies had died.
She did this with her one
hand in a digging motion near
the ground.
The intonation of her voice
and the resignation reflected
in her face gave all the
communication I needed.
Everything became still in
that hot sun, and we silently
shared our tears. No further
words were needed, for we
experienced an emotion
common to all -- that of
sorrow.
When we left the village for
the last time, amidst friendly
cries of farewell from the bus,
I waved to her, knowing that
it was not good-bye, for she
would always be part of my
love for Africa and its people.
ROME’S GREAT BASILICAS:
HOLY YEAR SHRINES ~ Rising
against a foreground of a formal lawn is
the Basilica of St. Paul’s-Outside-the-
Walls. Built over the site of St. Paul’s
tomb near the Rome-Ostia highway,
the present structure dates only from
the 1800’s but there has been a church
on the site since the early part of the
fourth century. Constantine built the
original church, completed in 324, and
RNS
50 years later a large basilica was
constructed by his successors. This
building stood the test of time until it
was almost completely destroyed by
fire in 1823. Appeals were made to
Catholics throughout the world and
basilica was rebuilt. Its present
reconstructed form reveals an
architectural type influenced by pagan
basilicas and the open atrium (or patio)
arrangement of the Roman residence.
Holy Year Travel Aids Ready
ROME (NC) - Representatives of nearly 60 national Holy Year committees have
ended a three-day meeting here aimed at coordinating and assessing arrangements at
local, national and Roman levels for promoting pilgrimages and caring for the
pilgrims on their journey and in Rome.
Bishop Ernest J. Primeau, director of Villa Stritch, residence of U.S. bishops and
priests working in Rome, represented Cardinal Timothy Manning of Los Angeles,
chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Holy Year committee, at these talks, presided over by
Cardinal Maximilien De Furstenberg, president of the central committee for the
1975 Holy Year.
The national
representatives were given a
complete picture of
arrangements made in Rome
both by Church and lay
organizations to ensure
maximum participation of
pilgrims during 1975.
The meeting’ heard a
number of speakers dealing
with the efforts of their
individual bodies. The
meaning of the pilgrimage, a
religious act and not a tourist
one, was spelled out by
Father Raimondo Spiazzai,
counselor of the executive
committee.
National representatives
were told that they could call
for help on the Roman
Pilgrimage to the See of Peter
organization, which would, if
asked, handle everything
from accommodations to
rearranging travel plans.
A pilgrim’s kit would be
prepared shortly, the national
representatives were told.
This would consist of a
plastic folder containing a
pilgrim’s handbook in a
number of languages and a
collection of liturgical texts
for use at masses, hymns,
prayers and other services at
Rome’s four patriarchal
basilicas and in the
Catacombs.
This folder also would
contain a pilgrim’s card to
give admission to the papal
audiences and enable the
pilgrim to make use of special
facilities such as reduced
public transport fares,
insurance against accident
and reimbursement of
medical expenses.
A pilgrim’s badge and a
map of Rome showing the
Holy Year sites would be
included in the kit which
would be sold for about
$3.50. The kit would be
distributed through the
national committees.
The ecumenical aspects of
the Holy Year were outlined
to the conference by
Monsignor Charles Moeller,
secretary of the Secretariat
for Promoting Christian
Unity and president of the
Holy Year ecumenical
commission.
Youth on pilgrimage will
be specially cared for by
members of the Boys Town
in Rome founded and
supervised by Monsignor
John Carroll-Abbing and
special religious and
educational programs will be
prepared for them.
