Our Mission in Zambia..

Begun in 1931, there are currently 24 Irish, 6 New Jersey and 5 Zambian friars in the Vice-Province, living in 10 houses in Zambia and 1 in Namibia. Most of the work is done on mission stations which serve the large and poor area of western Zambia and the Caprivi Strip in Namibia. The Capuchins are also heavily involved in Bonaventure College in Lusaka. This college is a venture of the Franciscan family and serves seven countries, with about 50 Capuchin students. The Zambian Vice-Province has 12 students.
