Launching of the Theme 2012

22 January, 2012  – St. Mary’s Parish (Kawbe)

On the 22nd of January  St. Mary’s Parish  was launching  the new theme  for  the year 2012,  “Kabwe Diocese Promoting Unity and Collaborative Ministry among Christ’s Faithful and all  Peoples”. The Holy Eucharist was presided by  our Bishop Clement Mulenga.   It was a great day  for our Parish since  all the faithful  were  waiting   for some years to have Bishop  in our  parish.  After the Mass we had simple  meal  with the bishop  where  the  representatives from all our centers,  including young people, were present. The  whole celebration  was a great  encouragement to  our faithful  to be more active members of the Church.

Back to School

9 January, 2012  - Dagama School (Luanshya)

Paul and Elizabeth Mwamba were taken back to school  for disabled children.  We are very  grateful to Don Bosco Missions in Turin  for offering their help to orphans and vulnerable children.  Thanks to their  generosity Paul and Eliza, among others, are able to study.  Indeed their  lives have changed since they started schooling.  Mrs. Christine Phiri, Salesian Co-operator, is  helping  us in  moments  like this.

New Year’s Eve

31 December, 2011 –  DBYC (Kabwe)

Indeed a good way to end the year. The youth from our parish gathered in the Salesian House to celebrate the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012.  It was a time of prayer and fun. Around midnight we celebrated the Eucharist to thank God for all the gifts we received and look into the future with hope.

Christmas preparations

21 December, 2011  - DBYC  (Kabwe)

The Youth from the Oratory are preparing  a short play for the Christmas Night celebration on Saturday.  The idea is to picture what is really happening in our communities at Christmas, how different people  see Christmas in a different way. It is interesting.

The preparations for the Great Day started in the beginning of November 2011.   Good number of the faithful from Kabwe Deanary (that time) put their hands together to prepare the event.  Indeed  they made a great effort to make sure that everything is  in place for the 17th of December, 2011.  Today we  can say ‘job well done’.  We thank God  for the First Bishop of Kabwe Diocese, Bishop Clement Mulenga SDB.
