This new community initiative was enthusiastically supported by all the Sisters of Bon Secours. Delayed by COVID-19, the first sisters settled in Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC in 2021. They were welcomed by the Jesuits in Central Africa and by several interested young women. These women soon formed a live-in community and participated in a vocation discernment process.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Ministry Today<\/h6>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  door-list\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Our ministry is quickly growing as we begin serving the people of the DRC.
