Portée et contenu
An article by Fr. Luke Browne OFM Cap. referring to a ceremony held on 5 May 1991 recalling the sacrifice of Br. Louis de Vylder SJ, the first Catholic missionary to die in Barotseland. Mass was celebrated by the Most Rev. Raymond Mpezele, Bishop of Livingstone, who was assisted by several Irish Capuchin friars. The article cutting is probably taken from 'The Capuchin' magazine.
