The Mount Nyiragongo is an active stratovolcano with an elevation of 3,470 m (11,385 ft) in the Virunga Mountains, associated with the Albertine Rift. It is located inside Virunga National Park, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, about 12 km (7.5 mi) north of the town of Goma and Lake Kivu and just west of the border with Rwanda. In this area are working the Pallottine Missionary Sisters and the Pallottine Fathers.
It was on 22nd May in the evening, when the Nyiragongo Volcano erupted. What people there are experiencing today is beyond human imagination!
After six years of life experience with the Pallottine Missionary Sisters, Sr. Clémentine Murekatete made her final commitment on 15th September 2021, on the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, at Masaka, in St. Peter and Paul Catholic Parish of the Archdiocese of Kigali.
