The National Leadership of CPT would like to issue an official statement denying a message titled “OFFICIAL CPT STATEMENT (The Catholic Professionals of Tanzania)” that is circulating on social media, especially WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. The CPT leadership wishes to inform leaders, CPT members and all believers on the following:

As we conclude our discussion, let us ask ourselves honestly and without hypocrisy: Is the nation of Tanzania today united and bonded together, or is it divided along lines of the poor and the rich, the youth and the elderly, women and men?

Christian Professionals of Tanzania (CPT) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in 2025, bringing together Christian professionals from various dioceses across the country to reflect, deliberate and set the strategic direction of CPT in service to the Church and the Nation.

The establishment of Christian Professionals of Tanzania (CPT) had a long and challenging journey before reaching the strength it has today. The origins of CPT date back to the Tanzania Young Catholic Students (TYCS) youth organization that was active in the late 1960s and 1970s.

Over the years of implementing its mission, Christian Professionals of Tanzania (CPT) has continued to work with great success at the national level. However, despite great efforts, it has not yet achieved satisfactory penetration at the Provincial and Parish levels.

The mission of scholars and professionals in the Church is an important part of pastoral and missionary work in the current context of Tanzania. Christian scholars, as part of the Church, play a unique role in ensuring that the Gospel touches the real life of society through the expertise, knowledge and skills they have been baptized with.
