The Catholic Church is in mourning following the death of Reverend Father William Kachingwe, who passed away on Monday morning at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) after a short illness.

Fr. Kachingwe, a member of the Congregation of St Michael the Archangel, was widely revered for his unwavering commitment to his priestly duties and his deep passion for Catholic music. His contributions to both the spiritual life of the Church and the local music community left a lasting impact on many.

Fr. Timothy Lubunda, the Archdiocese of Lusaka’s Vicar for the Religious, confirmed the death and expressed his profound sorrow. “The passing of Fr. Kachingwe is a great loss to the Church, and his spirit will live on through his work and the lives he touched,” Fr. Lubunda said.

The funeral arrangements are as follows: The funeral gathering will take place at the Poor Clares Monastery, where the faithful will have the opportunity to pay their respects.

The Vigil Mass will be held on Thursday at 18:00 hours at the Poor Clares Chapel, while the Requiem Mass and burial will be on Friday at 10:00 hours, also at the same venue.
