Scope and content
Copies of Mission News providing details of the personnel of the Capuchin missions in South Africa and in Zambia. Reference is made by Fr. Theophilus Murphy OFM Cap. to work at the mission station at Senanga on the banks of the Zambezi River. Other topics include distressing scenes at the Capuchin mission of St. Anthony’s in Sioma as a result of warfare in neighbouring Namibia (otherwise known as South West Africa). The text refers to the relief efforts of Fr. Benignus Buckley OFM Cap. and Fr. Patrick Mayungo OFM Cap. (Apr. 1981). A list of Capuchin personnel in houses and foundations in the Cape Province (South Africa) and in the Diocese of Livingstone for January 1981 is also given.
