Members of the Association of Consecrated Women in Eastern and Central Africa (ACWECA) have decided to hold their 18th Plenary Assembly virtually following the increasing number of Covid-19 cases.
On behalf of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB), I write to convey our deep and heartfelt condolences to members of the bereaved family, the clergy, religious and lay faithful of the Diocese of Monze, on the death of Rt. Rev. Moses Hamungole, until yesterday the Bishop of Monze. We wish to assure you of our closeness, pastoral solidarity and fervent prayers as we mourn and bid farewell to our beloved Bishop.
