Assumption is a thriving parish in the Monze Diocese with many services and activities that extend far beyond the projects of Good Samaritan. On a Sunday, both the masses in English and Chitonga are always overcrowded and the exuberant singing can be heard from the surrounding compounds. The parish is comprised of young and old and there are opportunities for all the members of the parish to be involved. Assumption Parish is divided into 18 small Christian communities that meet once a week for prayer and discussion. These small Christian communities send representatives to the Parish Council, which discusses the needs and issue of the parish.

In order to help the less fortunate in our parish there are two very successful programs that are run through the parish. The first is called the LISTENING CENTRE. This centre operates twice a week out of the parish office with volunteers who listen to the problems of the parishioners. They then offer advice and help to those in need. The other program is entitled HOME BASED CARE. This is a program that is run in many parishes throughout the diocese. This project was established in order to provide food and spiritual support to those who are in the later stages of HIV and are unable to leave their homes. Currently the food they receive has been donated through the United Nations, World Food Program. The staff of Home Based Care are supported by Assumption parishioners who volunteer their time to visit the sick and deliver them food.
