Universal Church #Holy Father

Remembering all the attention that Pope Francis shows to the Central African Church, the faithful of Bangui participated in the mass presided over by the Apostolic Nuncio in favor of the health of the Sovereign Pontiff.

It is part of his pastoral habits to celebrate a Mass the day after Christmas in the chapel of the Pediatrics of Bangui for sick children by giving them toys. A practice that not only rejoices the parents but rekindles hope in the hearts of these sick children forced to welcome Christ in the hospital. For this Jubilee Year, the Holy Father has once again shown himself very close to the Central African people by bending over these sick children. Thus he decided to decree the chapel of the Pediatrics of Bangui as a place of Plenary Indulgence during the Jubilee Year 2025.

His Eminence Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo invites all the faithful of the Archdiocese of Kinshasa to the Eucharist of the opening of the Holy Door which he will preside over this Sunday, December 29, 2024 at the Notre Dame du Congo Cathedral at 11:00 a.m., which Eucharist will be preceded by a pilgrimage starting from the avenue at 10:00 a.m. It should be noted that "people who participate in this jubilee and those who pass through the holy door during the year will receive the jubilee indulgence if they respect the conditions," wrote Cardinal AMBONGO.
