The foundation in action

Mpika Diocese has to date 12 parishes, one Benedictine monastery at Katibunga, three convents of the Zambian congregation of the Sisters of the Child Jesus (SCJ), four convents of the Blue Nuns (Little Servants of Mary Immaculate, LSMI), one convent of the Tanzanian congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady Queen of Africa (SOLQA), one convent of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts (SSHJM) and two houses of the Italian Lay Missionaries ALM.
The diocese supports 75 catechists, they get their pensions from the diocese as well. We have 22 Zambian priests and 36 local and 15 expatriate sisters.

The diocese has a 220 bed hospital at Chilonga, four Rural Health Centers:

  • Chalabesa
  • Mulanga
  • Ilondola
  • Mulilansolo

We are running three Community Home Based Care Programs, supporting the sick and the dying. In cooperation with the local community, they look after the widows and orphans.

The diocese maintains a Secondary School for 600 girls at Lwitikila, a Catechist Training School (CTC) at Mulilansolo with a capacity to train 20 catechists at a go, the Institute for Christian Leadership at Tazara, where courses and workshops for on-going formation are held, two Homecraft Centers at Tazara and Mulanga and two Kindergartens administrated by our sisters at Serenje and Ichengelo Parish.

The Family Life Office run by the Mulenga family is looking into the family life promotion in all parishes of the diocese. They are working together with the Pastoral Coordinator, Father Justin Matepa to foster youth and development work.

We have a program to help orphans with school funds, to enable them to complete their primary education. 1036 children are benefiting from the project.
