―to share your bread with the hungryǁ and Jesus took up the message announcing ―good news to the poor… and the year of God's favourǁ (Luke 4: 16-19). • Solidarity: To be in solidarity with others is to be moved by their suffering. The STC teaches us that we are brothers and sisters of each other and should love one another. ‗The joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted in any way, are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Nothing that is genuinely human fails to find an echo in their hearts' (Vatican II, Gaudium et Spes, #1, 7 Dec. 1965). • Stewardship of Creation: God created the earth for us all and instructed us to be its stewards. A steward is a manager, not an owner. The STC calls us to respect, conserve and share the resources of the earth as part of God's creation. 1.3 Zimbabwe Catholic Dioceses and Districts CCJPZ has its presence in all provinces also known as (Arch) Dioceses in the Catholic language as illustrated in Table 1 below: (Arch) Diocese Districts covered Archdiocese of Bulawayo Bulilima, Mangwe, Nyamandlovu, Tsholotsho, Bubi, part of Lupane and Ngayi with Shangaani River as boundary, Insiza, Matobo, Umzingwane, Beitbridge and Gwanda West of Umzingwane River.
