On Saturday 30th november 2019, the Holy Family Parish of Ndjili welcomed the entire Comboni family from the Kinshasa region for a Mass during which brothers GREGOIRE KASUSI and ANTOINE KASUSI made their Perpetual Vows.
The Eucharistic celebration was presided over by Father Joseph MUMBERE, the outgoing provincial, concelebrated by several Comboni missionary priests who came to Kinshasa for the various meetings, including Father Leonard NDJADI NDJATE, provincial entering on January 1st, 2020, and Father Fidèle KATSAN, Superior of the Chad delegation.
In his homily, Father Joseph recalled that in Congo, it is a first in the history of the province to have two twin brothers making their Perpetual Vows together and on the same day. For this, we give thanks to God. Insisting on the evangelical counsels, Father Joseph exhorted the assembly on the meaning of the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience.
