Zambezi Mission – A History of the Capuchins in Zambia, 1931-1981

zambezi-missionThe year 1981 was the fiftieth anniversary of the beginning of the Capuchin mission in Livingstone diocese in Zambia; it was also the centenary of the coming of Jesuit missionaries to the same territory. The year 1982 is the eight hundredth anniversary of the birth of Saint Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order, of which the Capuchins are a branch. It is appropriate, therefore, that an effort be made to recognize these events by publishing a record for the future of these followers of Saint Francis and of their Jesuit predecessors. This book attempts to provide such a record.
