The White Sisters established themselves at Kashozi, and the parish became widely known for the help that it gave to women.In the period from 1928 to 1939, the parish averaged four resident European missionary priests, and after 1935 one African priest. During the same period the number of White Sisters rose from five to eight, while the number of African Sisters declined from sixteen in 1930 to nine in 1939. Kashozi has a secondary school, although as of 1992 the ordinary peasants could not afford to pay the fees.Cardinal Laurean Rugambwa (July 12, 1912 – December 8, 1997), the first African bishop in Tanzania and first African cardinal, was buried at Kashogi.In October 2012 his body was exhumed and transferred to the renovated Mater Misericordiae Cathedral of Bukobain a major ceremony attended by many religious and civil dignitaries.
