\"Namusahakende,<\/a>Great joy marked the Sunday celebration (5th<\/sup> Oct 2014) where the Christian community of St. Gabriel\u2019s parish, Namushakende, warmly welcomed back Christian and Alfred. <\/em><\/span><\/address>\n
Christian is newly appointed to Namushakende after his priestly ordination on 12th<\/sup> July in Burundi. He had his pastoral experience (Stage) here in Namushakende from 2009\/2011. And so being appointed to Namushakende was a beautiful home coming for him. The Christians greeted him with great joy amidst singing and dancing. When Christian greeted the people at the end of Mass in Silozi, which he learnt during his period of stage, the Church cheered with joy and ululation. Christian will spend a short moment of re-introduction to the Silozi language and culture in Limulunga and then take full residence in Namushakende. We wish him a very fruitful and fulfilled ministry. Alfred, on his part, returned back to Namushakende after three months of home leave in Ghana.<\/em><\/span><\/address>\n
Fr Robert Chipumbu presided at the Mass. It was a delight to have Fr. Oswald Mallya, the Delegate Superior of Zambia with us at Mass. We are grateful to Oswald for accompanying Christian and Alfred from Lusaka to Namushakende, \u2018Western Power,\u2019 he calls us. The liturgical celebration was also coloured by the celebration of the rite of acceptance into the order of catechumen, an initial step in the RCIA journey.<\/em><\/span><\/address>\n
Namushakende community was started in 2002. It lies at the edge of the awesome Zambezi flood plains in the Western province of Zambia in Mongu Diocese. The community at the moment is composed of Robert Lavertu, Robert Chipumbu, Christian Muhineza, Joseph Kakule and Alfred Awogya.<\/em><\/span><\/address>\n
