Bishop Willy Ngumbi Ngengele of Goma, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) – a city currently under siege by the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels – says the planned beatification of Floribert Bwana Chui Bin Kositi is a source of pride for the people of the country.
He was speaking at a press conference on 9 June ahead of the beatification of the young Congolese customs officer, who was killed in 2007 after refusing to take a bribe.
The ceremony is scheduled for Trinity Sunday, 15 June, at the Papal Basilica of St Paul Outside-the-Walls in Rome.
