In April 2016, Rwandan refugees and other foreign nationals in Zambia sought refugee in a Catholic church after days of violence. They were targeted after claims associating them with a series of ritual killings. Residents from compounds were reported to have resorted to riots and violence in a quest to safeguard their lives. This paper investigated the Catholic Church’s response to these ‘xenophobic’ attacks in Zambia’s residential compounds to mirror the church’s role in social responsibility in contemporary times. The case study employed document review (media reports) and recorded interviews with Priests from St. Ignatius parish as the main data collection methods, which was thematically analysed. The paper advances that the Catholic Church, guided by its social teaching was not only a mirror of society, but also a place of refugee by hosting the refugees and condemning the violence in various compounds in Lusaka through pastoral letters and homilies.
