All the works undertaken and carried out in the Church have encountered the same difficulties and often even much greater ones, and yet, these difficulties have not frightened the apostolic men who undertook them and did not prevent them from carrying them out with as much steadfastness as success.
Francis Libermann
Cf. Notes and Documents, VII, 92, 1846.
Toutes les oeuvres qui ont été entreprises et exécutées dans l’Église ont rencontré ces mêmes difficultés et souvent de bien plus grandes encore, et cependant, ces difficultés n’ont pas effrayé les hommes apostoliques qui les ont entreprises et ne les ont pas empêchés de les exécuter avec autant de constance que de succès.
François Libermann
Cf. Notes et Documents, VII, 92, 1846.
Todas as obras que foram empreendidas e executadas na Igreja encontraram as mesmas dificuldades e muitas vezes ainda maiores, e no entanto, estas dificuldades não assustaram os homens apostólicos que as empreenderam e não os impediram de as executar com tanta constância como sucesso.
Francisco Libermann

In the summer of 1837, M. Libermann left Saint-Sulpice for Rennes where he joined M. Louis, the superior of the Eudistes, hoping to do some good in that congregation for the salvation of souls. M. Louis had been very insistent that he should follow him and after two months in the house he was appointed novice master. But despite the fervour of the superior, Libermann found the place to be in great disorder and he was heart-broken to see that all his efforts to improve things met with failure.
Memoire of Eugène Tisserant
1863 East Africa
Père Horner lands in Zanzibar with Père Baur and two brothers. Nearly all the first converts are freed slaves. The idea of Fr. Horner is to put these converts in villages, where they can be taught religion, agriculture and a trade. Fr Horner surveys the mainland coast and decides that Bagamoyo is the most suitable for his purpose.

Vers l'été de 1837, Mr Libermann (il) quitta Saint-Sulpice et se rendit à Rennes auprès de M. Louis, supérieur des Eudistes, dans l'espérance de faire dans cette congrégation quelque bien pour le salut des âmes: M. Louis l'avait fortement prié de l'y suivre, et l'y plaça, deux mois après son entrée, dans la charge de maître des novices. Il trouva cette société, malgré le zèle de celui qui la dirigeait, dans un état de désordre fort grand, et voyait, le cœur tout navré de tristesse, échouer tous ses efforts contre les moyens qu'il prenait ou indiquait pour remédier au mal.
Mémoire Tisserant
1863 Afrique de L’Est
Le P. Horner débarque à Zanzibar avec le P.Baur et deux frères. Presque tous les premiers convertis sont des esclaves rachetés. L’idée du P.

Il étudie la côte continentale et choisit Bagamoyo comme endroit tout à fait adapté à son projet.

Pelo verão de 1837, Libermann deixou S. Sulpício e foi para Rennes para junto de M. Louis, superior dos Eudistas, com a esperança de fazer algum bem nesta congregação para a salvação das almas. M. Louis tinha insistido muito para que o seguisse, e dois meses depois da sua entrada, pôs Libermann a Mestre de noviços. Ele encontrou esta sociedade, apesar do zelo daquele que a dirigia, num estado de desordem muito grande, e via, com o coração cheio de tristeza, fracassar todos os seus esforços contra os meios que ele tomava ou indicava para remediar o mal.
Mémoire Tisserant
1863 África de Leste
O P. Horner desembarca no Zanzibar e traz com ele o P. Baur e dois irmãos. Quase todos os primeiros convertidos são escravos livres. A ideia do P.

Horner estuda a costa do continente e escolhe o Bagamoio como o lugar mais apropriado para o seu projecto.
