The Catholic Church as represented by the White Fathers (today known as Missionaries of Africa) arrived in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia today (1)) in 1891. Until the arrival of the first Jesuits in 1905, they were the sole Catholics in the territory. As part of their method of evangelization, both the White Fathers and the Jesuits started basic schools almost from the beginning. Within a short time, this led them into ongoing contact with the secular government, which until 1924 was the British South Africa Company (B.S.A.C.) and the colonial government from 1924 to 1964.
