\nEmeritus
\nBishop of Mansa diocese Rt. Rev. Aaron Chisha has asked the lay faithful to
\nsupport and encourage the bishops as they carry out their tasks. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBishop
\nChisha said that the Bishops though divinely appointed, face difficult tasks
\nand make sacrifices in line of their duties.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDuring his
\nhomily when Zambia Catholic Bishops held mass with the Catholic secretariat
\nstaff in Lusaka on 19th January, 2016, Bishop Chisha said, \u201cSupport the
\nbishops and God will give you abundant blessings.\u201d <\/div>\n

\nBishop elect for Mpika Diocese, Very Rev. Justin Mulenga, he said that the
\nCatholic Church is pleased to have a new bishop for Mpika diocese. \u201cWe should
\nbe happy in the church that we have a new bishop. It has taken long to have one
