Our History

From the beginning of 19th century Catholic Missionaries made tremendous efforts to become established among the people of Zambia. The Missionaries of Africa, popularly known as the White Fathers founded mission posts in the north and the east, while the Jesuits also called in full as the Society of Jesus, moved from south and the south-east towards the centre of the country. Hence, the first decade of the twentieth century saw the Jesuits establish themselves in Chikuni in the south and Kasisi, Lusaka, in the centre of Zambia. The other missionaries came later.

Therefore, the Catholic Faith was first brought to Zambia in 1895 by the Missionaries of Africa. However, it was brought to Lusaka in particular, in 1905 through a Jesuit French missionary priest called Julius Torrend.
