Zambia: visit of the Superior General
I paid a visit to the Region of Zambia from 3rd to 18th June, 2018. I began my visit in the city of Lusaka. Here, two confreres are ministering in city parishes: Paddy Barry at St Agnes, Ibex Hill and Moses Chileshe at St Theresa’s Chainda.

This is a house of welcome for SMA and many other visitors to Zambia.
