The Oblates of Mary Immaculate first arrived in Zambia in 1984. They established the first mission in Lukulu and later their mission was extended to Kalabo, Mongu, and Limulunga, all locations in the Western Province of the country. In 1987 a Mission Center House was opened in Lusaka to serve as the home base for the Oblates in Zambia.
Today, Oblates of Mary Immaculate are working in three missions: Kalabo and Lukulu in the Mongu Diocese, and Shangombo in the Livingstone Diocese, with Mary Immaculate Parish in Lusaka.
In their 25 years of mission in Zambia, the Oblates have penetrated nearly every aspect of the Zambian people’s lives and provide hope, health care, human rights, agriculture, food, employment, education, catechists, and worship.
