More than a dozen people received Holy Baptism last week at a new parish of the Russian Orthodox Church’s African Exarchate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The reconstruction and restoration of the Holy Transfiguration Church, which was erected in 1161, and its ancient frescoes began in 2017 and finished in time for the upcoming celebration of the Savior-St. Euphrosyne Convent’s 900th anniversary.
In recent years, the Russian Orthodox Church and non-profit organizations have opened 86 shelters for pregnant women and mothers with children and 267 humanitarian aid centers that help women continue their pregnancies by solving their material problems.
