4 May 2013 was an unforgettable day for the Daughters of St. Paul of our Congo-Ivory Coast Delegation. Fifty-five years after the opening of our book and media center in Kinshasa, the locale has now been completely renovated, along with the living quarters of the sisters, located upstairs.
Apostolic Nuncio Adolfo Tito presided over the blessing ceremony, which was attended by many members of the Pauline Family, members of other religious Institutes, friends of the sisters and journalists. Also present for the occasion was the Congo’s Minister for Culture and the Arts, who was invited to cut the ribbon looped across the entrance to the book center.
Our sisters hope that, in keeping with the desire of Blessed James Alberione, this spacious and well-lit Center will become more and more a place that irradiates light as a result of their commitment to evangelization and human promotion, On our part, we are sure that the quality service our sisters offer the people, together with their efforts to disseminate the Word of truth and justice, will contribute to the rebuilding of the country and to the vitality of the local Church.
