Carmel in Congo Celebrates 50 Years

On Tuesday, May 16, 2023, the Order will begin a yearlong celebration of its presence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. To begin the celebrations, a solemn Eucharist will be held in the parish of Isidore Bakanja at Chemchem (Bunia). The bishop of Bunia, Msgr Dieudonnè Uringi will preside.

As a provincial commissariat of the Italian province, a host of people from around the Congo and Italy are expected to participate. These include the General Councilor for Africa, Conrad Mutizamhepo, representing the prior general. Also participating will be Roberto Toni, prior provincial of the Italian province, Henry Venecia Cerro, provincial councilor, Sebastian Benchea, secretary of the council and province, and Giuseppe Grussu, provincial treasurer, Guido Sartori. Also present will be Mario Serra who served in the missions previously.

Two Carmelites will be ordained during the ceremony: Emery Losinu Ngadjole and Philémon Kambale Sivasi.

Congratulations to the Congolese, the Italian province, and the Church on this milestone in the development of Carmel in Africa.
