"Shujaa wa Imakulata"
(Messenger of Mary Immaculate)

The issue of the monthly Messenger of Mary Immaculate (in Polish: "Rycerz Niepokalanej") father Maximilian Kolbe began in Poland in January 1922. This MI press organ was printed first in Cracow, then in Grodno, and since 1927 - in Niepokalanów. Now, Messenger of Mary Immaculate is published in thousands of copies for readers living in Brazil, Ecuador, Kenya, USA, Japan, Poland, Italy or Paraguay in over 20 languages.

In Tanzania, Franciscan Friars publish "Shujaa wa Imakulata" (Messenger of Mary Imma­culate) in the Swahili language since 1994. At the beginning the seat of the edi­torial was a house in Arusha. Some years later "Shujaa wa Imakulata" was trans­ferred to Dar es Salaam, then - to a new house in Morogoro (2010). Finally, in 2012 "Shujaa" came back to Dar es Salaam.

Since January 2012, the magazine - which is one of the most important means of evange­li­zation in the Tanzanian Custody - is published as a quarterly (4 000 copies). Every year it's followed by an occa­sional supplement - a calendar. For 2013 the calendar was issued in 14 000 copies.
