May 22, 2025 was marked by an exceptional day of faith, culture and joy<\/strong> on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint Vedruna, founder of the Carmelite Sisters of Charity Vedruna congregation. The celebration took place in two stages: first at Saint Martin's parish, then on the grounds of the Vedruna school complex, bringing together nursery, primary and secondary schools in a harmonious organization rich in activities. <\/p>\n\n

The day began with a solemn mass celebrated<\/strong> by the auxiliary bishop of Kinshasa Est, SE. Mgr. Ntimba in the Saint Martin parish. This powerful spiritual moment enabled the faithful, students, teachers and nuns to gather together in prayer and gratitude<\/strong>, paying tribute to the educational and charitable mission inherited from Saint Joaquina de Vedruna. <\/p>\n\n

After the celebration of the Eucharist, activities continued on the esplanade of the school complex in a festive<\/strong> atmosphere. The official opening began with the playing of the national anthem, a symbol of unity and patriotic pride. Sister Val\u00e9rie, Prefect of Secondary Studies, then took the floor to welcome the distinguished guests, the sisters from different communities of the congregation, and all the participants. <\/p>\n\n

The program was punctuated by a moving speech <\/strong>by the students' representative, the complex's bidel general, followed by a series ofcultural and artistic activities<\/strong>: recitations by kindergarten pupils, a parade of elementary school pupils accompanied by their teachers, songs and various recitations, as well as a poem performed by a secondary school pupil.<\/p>\n
