Most of the economic activities are done in places
like the churches for the aim of running different activities which could be
spiritual, socially and even economically; in the some years ago the missions
had a great support from European countries to the followers such food, cloth
and any other kind of support which was possible, as time went things have
changed to a great level not monetary support again from such countries. So
currently; the African churches need to have their source of income to run
their different activities.
Kawe parish is among the catholic churches which
is investing in building the hall that is determined to be of great importance
for them to solve various problems facing it, the hall is expected to have
variety of functions such as for meeting, prayers, spiritual ceremonies,
weddings, send-offs all this is to avoid
the dependence. So this will in one way or another solve the monetary problem which is a calamity in most of the religious
institutions, so to wind up on this enough support is required.
The project of investing the church hall is under
the building committee which has been given the mandate on making sure that the
hall is build in a cost of tshs 800,000/= this committee is lead by Mr. Jeremia
Makwabe as a chairman with other five members; the needs such amount of money to
accomplish it within three years so the it has various strategies of collecting
such money.
The means of making sure that the collection is done
are through the forms, cards, fund-raising, collections from donors and the
weekly collection from Christians from within the parish.
This building will have great importance to the
people as it will be used for prayers by various spiritual, they will use for
the meetings, this will also reduce monetary problem in the parish as the halls
will be used for renting in the wedding and send-offs by this increases the
income of the parish.
This hall is expected to involve the offices of
different apostolic groups which are found in the parish such as the Parish
Priest office and his vice, Catholic Women, Catholic Youth Workers, and so
forth apart from offices it is expected to comprise the ground floor and first
floor hall.
It has been a challenge among other parishes to
eradicate the monetary problem by having the different ideas to make invest in
various places so as to reduce the burden to the Christians on contribution
during the masses. So the church needs to be dependent and not much to their
followers; kawe and other parishes are likely to be a good example in making
sure that the monetary dependence is reduced. All in all the Christian have to
show cooperation to the committee concerned in order to have progress in the
economic level of the parishes.
