NDOLA DIOCESE ELEVATED TO ARCHDIOCESE
By Fr. Arthur Ntembula
In a momentous announcement made Tuesday, June 18, 2024 Pope Francis has elevated Ndola Diocese to the status of an Ecclesiastical Province within the Catholic Church in Zambia, thus establishing it as an Archdiocese.
Archbishop Benjamin Phiri who until now served as the Ordinary of Ndola Diocese, will now have increased administrative and pastoral responsibilities as he assumes the role of Archbishop, the first Metropolitan Archbishop of the Province.
The position entails overseeing other suffragan dioceses within the province which include Kabwe and Solwezi. Until this development, the three dioceses (Ndola, Kabwe, Solwezi) fell under the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Province of Lusaka.
With the establishment of Ndola as a new province, Zambia now boasts of three distinct ecclesiastical provinces: Lusaka, Kasama, and Ndola, and this development signifies the growing importance of the Catholic Church in Ndola and Zambia at large.

Pallium, a Sign of Bishop’s Authority and Service: Apostolic Nuncio to Archbishop Phiri
Sandra Kunda
During the thanksgiving mass and pallium investiture in Ndola’s Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, the Apostolic Nuncio to Zambia and Malawi His Excellency Gian Luca Perici has reminded Archbishop Benjamin Phiri of Jesus’ instruction to the apostles that the authority of a bishop is at the service of the Church to which Most Rev. Phiri concurred, adding that no one in the Church should feel special as all are the baptized are called to serve.
“Instead, Christians should remain humble, recognizing that it is by God’s grace that they are called to be available for service to His people,” said Archbishop Phiri during his homily.
Emphasizing submissiveness, Archbishop Phiri urged Christians to be God-fearing whenever they are called to serve, further challenging them to use their talents to serve God wholeheartedly so that their goodness can be recognized.
Archbishop Phiri encouraged Christians to reflect on how well they are serving God and avoid prioritizing material things, which will be left behind when one dies.
Encouraging Christians on the importance of humility, Archbishop Phiri called on them to avoid fighting with fellow Christians when given a position in the church to achieve greatness. “A title does not guarantee closeness to God; therefore, let us be people of justice who wish well for each other and the larger community because that is where God resides,” the metropolitan bishop stated.
Archbishop Phiri also thanked and recognized the efforts and selflessness exhibited by the bishops from the two suffragan dioceses of the new ecclesiastical province in the journey toward the elevation of Ndola to the status of Archdiocese.
“The Bishops knew they were not the ones who shall put on the Pallium, but they offered support selflessly,” Archbishop Phiri shared.
The Apostolic Nuncio noted that the pallium invested on Archbishop Phiri will, among other things, remind him of Jesus’ reinstatement of St. Peter as the leader of the Church.
“May Jesus encourage you as a bishop so that you may lead everyone to Christ with love,” Archbishop Perici said. The Apostolic Nuncio further noted the significance of the pallium and the responsibilities it entails.
Speaking at the same event, the Archbishop of Kasama, His Grace Ignatius Chama, who is also the president of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB), said the elevation of Ndola Diocese to Archdiocese is a sign that the church is growing. However, growth comes with a huge responsibility. Therefore, it calls for support from everyone in the ecclesiastical province.
Archbishop Chama said that, as this is an ecclesiastical province with two suffragan dioceses, Archbishop Phiri will not run out of wisdom.
His Grace has since expressed gratitude to the Holy Father for this elevation.
The Archbishop of Lilongwe Most Rev. George Tambala who graced the occasion, congratulated Archbishop Phiri on his historic achievement of becoming the first Archbishop of the new Archdiocese of Ndola.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Phiri’s family representative, former Chief Justice Ernest Sakala, congratulated His Grace on becoming the first archbishop of Ndola and called on the Catholics and the clergy to be supportive and avoid unnecessary Gossip.

ZCCB Launches Catholic Education Manual and Safeguarding Policy
Sandra Kunda
The Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) Education Department , on 16thAugust 2024, launched the Catholic Education Manual and an Education Safeguarding Policy.
The two documents are expected to enhance a safe and favorable learning environment for the children and persons responsible for the wellness of the children in all catholic schools.
Speaking during the launch, Zambia Catholic University Deputy Vice Chancellor, Fr. Fabian Pikiti, said the launch of the two documents is in line with the demands of the universal Church as directed by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, that it is mandatory at every level of the life of the Church, that safeguarding of minors should be part and parcel of the pastoral life of the Church.
He says the Catholic Church, with over 300,000 pupils under its care, endeavours to see that these children who spend most of the time in school, especially those in boarding, are safeguarded.
Fr. Pikiti says the two documents have been formulated with serious consideration of the provisions of the law of Zambia.
He adds that this safeguarding policy embodies standards, measures, and guidelines for preventing all risks to which those children may be exposed.
Fr. Pikiti notes that the two documents will also help children fear God and love one another.
He has since called on school heads to ensure that the staff, support staff and children understand the importance of these documents as they are being implemented.
Fr. Pikiti took this opportunity to congratulate the ZCCB Education Secretary, Fr. Leonard Namuhumba and everyone who worked hard to formulate these two documents.
And Fr. Leonard Namuhumba underscored the importance of the documents, such as the education manual and education safeguarding policy, indicating that they are specifically for catholic schools and not any other.
“The significance of these documents is core to us as they will help us develop our schools,” Fr. Namunumba stated.
He said the education manual houses many aspects, such as discipline, identity, and philosophy, among others.
Fr. Namuhumba also disclosed that the documents launched, just like others, will be reviewed and revised from time to time, further thanking everyone who took part in their formulation.
And Fr. Cornelius Chibamba, the ZCCB Pastoral Coordinator, said the role of the Church is to give quality education to change the learners who, in turn, contribute positively to society and the country at large; therefore, the documents that have been launched are timely.
Fr. Chimbamba assured the Department of Education of the Bishops’ support on this journey.

Religious sisters in Zambia implementing eco-friendly agriculture
In the wake of droughts triggered by climate change in Zambia, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit are implementing an eco-friendly agriculture project aimed at fighting climate change.
By Sandra Kunda
In an effort to live out and promote Laudato si’, the encyclical of Pope Francis that focuses on caring for our common home, the Sisters of the Holy Spirit in Mazabuka District of Southern Province, supported by the Conrad Hilton Foundation, are implementing an eco-friendly agriculture project. The project is aimed at fighting climate change and fostering adaptation in the Magoye area.
The Mazabuka project is a holistic endeavor of integrated farming practices to create a robust and environmentally friendly agricultural system.
One of the standout features is the fish farming operation, which has provided a reliable source of protein for the local community, while generating income to support the project’s other activities.
The fish farming ponds are managed using sustainable methods that minimize environmental impact and promote biodiversity.
Providing water, meat and eggs
Water management is another critical component of the project. The use of drip irrigation systems has ensured the efficient use of water resources, which is especially crucial in the arid climate of Mazabuka.
These systems reduce water wastage and ensure that crops receive the necessary hydration to thrive, thereby increasing agricultural productivity and resilience against drought.
The poultry and piggery ventures have also been highly successful, contributing to the diversification of the farm’s output.
The initiatives have not only improved food security by providing a steady supply of meat and eggs but have also generated additional revenue streams that support the project’s sustainability.
The poultry farm is operated with a focus on animal welfare and environmental sustainability, using organic feed and implementing waste management practices that reduce pollution.
Training program for students and women
Sr. Junza Mwangani, a Sister of the Holy Spirit, is managing the project. She provided an overview of the project’s achievements and future plans.
“We are currently working with 4 other congregations to ensure food security and every congregation is working with 15 women, making them 70 all together,” she explained.
She highlighted that the cornerstone of this project is its comprehensive training program for students and women.
“By educating women and the young people in eco-friendly agricultural practices, the project is fostering a culture of sustainability that will benefit the community for generations to come,” said Sr. Junza.
She added that the training program covers a wide range of topics, including organic farming, renewable energy, and conservation techniques. Students are provided with hands-on experience and are encouraged to develop innovative solutions to agricultural challenges.
Sr. Junza added that the project has seen tremendous growth and success on eco-friendly practices; it has therefore not only benefitted the environment but also empowered the community.
Testament of religious sisters living Laudato si’
Sr. Jane Wakahiu, associate Vice President, Program Operations and Head of Catholic Sisters at the Conrad Hilton Foundation, visited the project in Mazabuka.
She highlighted that the project is a definition of true human integral development and teaches others that they can always utilize the natural resources God has provided so that no one goes hungry.
Sr. Wakahiu expressed her deep satisfaction with the progress and impact of the project, which not only contributes community food security but also contributes to the broader fight against climate change.
“Projects like these are a true testament of religious sisters living pope Francis’s vision of Laudato si’,” Sr. Wakahiu remarked.
The Mazabuka project stands as a beacon of hope and progress in the face of global environmental challenges. With ongoing support from the Hilton Foundation and other stakeholders, it has the potential to serve as a model for similar initiatives in Zambia.

Pope Francis has died on Easter Monday aged 88
At 9:45 AM, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, announced the death of Pope Francis from the Casa Santa Marta with these words:
“Dearest brothers and sisters, with deep sorrow I must announce the death of our Holy Father Francis. At 7:35 this morning, the Bishop of Rome, Francis, returned to the house of the Father.
His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of His Church.
He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with fidelity, courage, and universal love, especially in favor of the poorest and most marginalized. With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite merciful love of the One and Triune God.”
The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, told journalists later on Monday that the late Pope’s body could be transferred to St. Peter’s Basilica on Wednesday morning, so that the faithful may pray before his mortal remains.
“The translation of the Holy Father’s mortal remains to the Vatican Basilica, for the veneration of all the faithful, may take place on the morning of Wednesday, April 23, 2025, according to the arrangements that shall be determined and communicated tomorrow, following the first Congregation of the Cardinals,” Mr. Bruni said.
The rite of the certification of death and placement in the coffin took place on Monday evening at 8:00 PM in the chapel on the ground floor of the late Pope’s residence in the Casa Santa Marta.
During the rite, the declaration of death was read aloud. The act was validated by Cardinal Farrell, and the ceremony lasted just under an hour.
Seals were placed on the papal apartment on the third floor of the Apostolic Palace and on the apartment on the second floor of the Casa Santa Marta, where Pope Francis lived.

NEW POPE ELECTED
NEWLY ELECTED POPE LEO XIV URGES CHURCH TO EMBRACE SYNODALITY AND MISSIONARY IN FIRST ADDRESS.
Know your new Pope
Biography of Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost
Prior to his election as Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops. Here is the biography of the 267th Bishop of Rome.
The first Augustinian Pope, Leo XIV is the second Roman Pontiff – after Pope Francis – from the Americas. Unlike Jorge Mario Bergoglio, however, the 69-year-old Robert Francis Prevost is from the northern part of the continent, though he spent many years as a missionary in Peru before being elected head of the Augustinians for two consecutive terms.
First Augustinian Pope
The new Bishop of Rome was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois, to Louis Marius Prevost, of French and Italian descent, and Mildred Martínez, of Spanish descent. He has two brothers, Louis Martín and John Joseph.
He spent his childhood and adolescence with his family and studied first at the Minor Seminary of the Augustinian Fathers and then at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, where in 1977 he earned a Degree in Mathematics and also studied Philosophy.
On September 1 of the same year, Prevost entered the novitiate of the Order of Saint Augustine (O.S.A.) in Saint Louis, in the Province of Our Lady of Good Counsel of Chicago, and made his first profession on September 2, 1978. On August 29, 1981, he made his solemn vows.
The future Pontiff received his theological education at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. At the age of 27, he was sent by his superiors to Rome to study Canon Law at the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum).
In Rome, he was ordained a priest on June 19, 1982, at the Augustinian College of Saint Monica by Archbishop Jean Jadot, then pro-president of the Secretariat for Non-Christians, which later became the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and then the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue.
Prevost obtained his licentiate in 1984 and the following year, while preparing his doctoral thesis, was sent to the Augustinian mission in Chulucanas, Piura, Peru (1985–1986). In 1987, he defended his doctoral thesis on “The Role of the Local Prior in the Order of Saint Augustine” and was appointed vocation director and missions director of the Augustinian Province of “Mother of Good Counsel” in Olympia Fields, Illinois (USA).
Mission in Peru
The following year, he joined the mission in Trujillo, also in Peru, as director of the joint formation project for Augustinian candidates from the vicariates of Chulucanas, Iquitos, and Apurímac.
Over the course of eleven years, he served as prior of the community (1988–1992), formation director (1988–1998), and instructor for professed members (1992–1998), and in the Archdiocese of Trujillo as judicial vicar (1989–1998) and professor of Canon Law, Patristics, and Moral Theology at the Major Seminary “San Carlos y San Marcelo.” At the same time, he was also entrusted with the pastoral care of Our Lady Mother of the Church, later established as the parish of Saint Rita (1988–1999), in a poor suburb of the city, and was parish administrator of Our Lady of Monserrat from 1992 to 1999.
In 1999, he was elected Provincial Prior of the Augustinian Province of “Mother of Good Counsel” in Chicago, and two and a half years later, the ordinary General Chapter of the Order of Saint Augustine, elected him as Prior General, confirming him in 2007 for a second term.
In October 2013, he returned to his Augustinian Province in Chicago, serving as director of formation at the Saint Augustine Convent, first councilor, and provincial vicar—roles he held until Pope Francis appointed him on November 3, 2014, as Apostolic Administrator of the Peruvian Diocese of Chiclayo, elevating him to the episcopal dignity as Titular Bishop of Sufar.
He entered the Diocese on November 7, in the presence of Apostolic Nuncio James Patrick Green, who ordained him Bishop just over a month later, on December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in the Cathedral of Saint Mary.
His episcopal motto is “In Illo uno unum”—words pronounced by Saint Augustine in a sermon on Psalm 127 to explain that “although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one.”
Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru, from 2015 to 2023
On September 26, 2015, he was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo by Pope Francis. In March 2018, he was elected second vice-president of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference, where he also served as a member of the Economic Council and president of the Commission for Culture and Education.
In 2019, Pope Francis appointed him a member of the Congregation for the Clergy (July 13, 2019), and in 2020, a member of the Congregation for Bishops (November 21). Meanwhile, on April 15, 2020, he was also appointed Apostolic Administrator of the Peruvian Diocese of Callao.
Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops
On January 30, 2023, the Pope called him to Rome as Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and President of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America, promoting him to the rank of Archbishop.
Created Cardinal in 2024
Pope Francis created him Cardinal in the Consistory of September 30 that year and assigned him the Diaconate of Saint Monica. He officially took possession of it on January 28, 2024.
As head of the Dicastery, he participated in the Pope’s most recent Apostolic Journeys and in both the first and second sessions of the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on synodality, held in Rome from October 4 to 29, 2023, and from October 2 to 27, 2024, respectively.
Meanwhile, on October 4, 2023, Pope Francis appointed him as a member of the Dicasteries for Evangelization (Section for First Evangelization and New Particular Churches), for the Doctrine of the Faith, for the Eastern Churches, for the Clergy, for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, for Culture and Education, for Legislative Texts, and of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State.
Finally, on February 6 of this year, the Argentine Pope promoted him to the Order of Bishops, granting him the title of the Suburbicarian Church of Albano.
Three days later, on February 9, he celebrated the Mass presided over by Pope Francis in St. Peter’s Square for the Jubilee of the Armed Forces, the second major event of the Holy Year of Hope.
During the most recent hospitalization of his predecessor at the “Gemelli” hospital, Prevost presided over the Rosary for Pope Francis’s health in Saint Peter’s Square on March 3.
