• The Katibunga monastery was officially elevated to a Priory and Fr. Will broad Nzota was appointed Prior.
• Ignatius Mwaba, Barnabas Mukantemwa and Ambrose Chisumbe, three Zambian Novices made their simple vows.

Around 10:00 hrs Abbot Alcuin Nyirenda OSB, Pater Frederik Kell from Kloster Jakobsberg in Germany, Fr. Kabuswe, Priests, Religious Men & Women and all Christians, that had come to celebrate with the Benedictines went in procession to the new church, where Mass was to take place.
