When Father Carroll Houle was pastor of Zanaki
Parish (which included Butiama Outstation) in Musoma Diocese in Tanzania he met
President Julius Nyerere after he had just returned from a State Visit to India.
Carroll commented that while he had always liked India, the distinctive Hindu
music hurt his ears. President Nyerere replied: "That’s interesting because the
singing of our Butiama Catholic Church Choir always hurts my ears."
