It relates the daily successes and challenges of the Sisters of Notre Dame as they inaugurated four missions in East Africa beginning in 1992. In text and photos the book captures the missionary spirit of the sisters who left their provinces in India, the US, Brazil, Indonesia and Germany to minister to people in remote areas of Tanzania, Mozambique, Uganda and Kenya. Besides preserving precious history for the congregation, Vineyards aims to inspire volunteers and vocations. It can also serve to inform clergy and laity of the wonderful success of the missionaries in their ministry efforts, as well as to encourage interest in and contributions to the missions.
