I have composed this song, "Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano," as a tribute to our Founder, Blessed Joseph Allamano, who will be canonized on October 20th. His life of dedication and missionary work has inspired me deeply, and this song is a celebration of his legacy, his unwavering faith, and the love he shared with the world. Through his example, may we continue to live in peace and unity.

Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano, Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano
Verse 1: Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano, mjumbe wa Mungu,
Amezaliwa Italia, akajazwa na upendo,
Katika nyumba ya Marianna, aliinuliwa,
Ndugu wa Mtakatifu Cafasso, akamlea kwa bidii.
Alihudumia Kanisa, katika Consolata,
Miaka arubaini na sita, alileta nuru,
Alipoanzisha Wamisionari, kwa jina la Maria,
Kuhubiri Injili, Afrika na duniani kote.
Chorus: Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano, mwalimu wa imani,
Kwa upendo wa Maria, aliwasha mwanga,
Tunakuimba leo, mtume wa upendo,
Urithi wako wa amani, tunaishi daima.
Verse 2: Alitengeneza njia, kwa roho na mwili,
Elimu na afya, alifanya kuwa msingi,
Katika misitu ya Amazon, muujiza ulionekana,
Kwa maombezi yako, Sorino akaokolewa.
Sauti yako ya huruma, inasikika kote,
Wamisionari wa Consolata, wanatenda kazi zako,
Kufikisha Injili, kwa wale wasioisikia,
Wakiunganisha mataifa, katika amani na upendo.
Chorus: Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano, mwalimu wa imani,
Kwa upendo wa Maria, aliwasha mwanga,
Tunakuimba leo, mtume wa upendo,
Urithi wako wa amani, tunaishi daima.

Verse 3: Consolata, inaishi bado,
Katika nchi zaidi ya thelathini na tano,
Barani Afrika, Amerika, Ulaya na Asia,
Wanafanya kazi zako oooo
Chorus: Mtakatifu Yosefu Allamano, mwalimu wa imani,
Kwa upendo wa Maria, aliwasha mwanga,
Tunakuimba leo, mtume wa upendo,
Urithi wako wa amani, tunaishi daima.
