Institutional Memory
Milestones of the association
1886
The martyrdom of St. Mulumba
Mathias Kalemba, the Mulumba of the King of Uganda, lays down his life on 27 May 1886 rather than renounce his Catholic faith. The founding fathers later chose him as patron of the Order to honour a great African defender of the faith.
1953
The Order is founded in Nigeria
The Knights of St. Mulumba, a fraternal benefit Order of Catholic men, is founded in October 1953 in Nigeria by the late Monk Anselem Abraham Ojefua.
Before 1978
Ladies serving in their zones
The Ladies of St. Mulumba operate independently in their various zones under different names, rendering service alongside the Knights.
1978
A national association is formed
By the grace of Almighty God and at the request of the Founder, the ladies are organised nationally as the Ladies of St. Mulumba, Nigeria (LSM).
18 March 1978
Formal inauguration at Ibadan
LSM Nigeria is formally inaugurated at the Pastoral Institute, Ibadan, Oyo State, under the guidance of His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Dr. Felix Job, Bishop of Ibadan; the then Supreme Knight of the Order, Mr. D.E.A. da Silva of Ibadan Sub-Council; and Grand Knights from other Sub-Councils.
1978
Thirteen pioneer Sub-Councils

Today
Two hundred and ninety-three Sub-Councils
