Musami is based around the mission, St Paul’s. It lies about 100m northeast of Harare and was founded in 1923. Under a succession of dedicated and energetic superiors, it expanded over the next 50 years. A large complex of primary schools developed and in due course, a secondary school was added. The original church was replaced by a new one capable of holding 3,000 people, and the clinic grew into an 80-bed hospital run by the Dominican Sisters. It was the largest mission station in the Archdiocese of Salisbury, catering for over 2,000 students. At the beginning of 1977, there were seven Jesuits on the staff of St Paul’s, assisted by a community of five Dominican Sisters and a local community of 14 members of the Little Children of Our Blessed Lady.
