DR Congo: Close Proximity to the Marginalised

Elderly women in impoverished communities served by St. Francis of Paola Parish of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) had a reason to smile during the period preceding Easter after receiving food from an initiative of the Parish.

Fr. Patrick Lonkoy Bolengu MHM led the initiative, sometimes trekking for miles to some of the mission stations of the Congolese Catholic Parish.

To get to one station of the Parish, the member of the St. Joseph’s Missionary Society of Mill Hill (MHM), commonly known as Mill Hill Missionaries, walked for about 6 miles when a motorbike he had boarded abandoned him along the way.
