Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kinshasa
On 3 April 1919, it was renamed the Apostolic Vicariate of Léopoldville. It lost territory several times more: to establish the "Mission sui juris" of Bikoro on 3 January 1931, the Apostolic Vicariate of Boma on 26 February 1934, the Apostolic Prefecture of Kole on 14 June 1951, and the Apostolic Vicariate of Inongo on 29 June 1953. It was elevated on 10 November 1959 as the Archdiocese of Léopoldville, when the city was soon to become the national capital of the newly-independent Republic of the Congo. It was renamed the Archdiocese of Kinshasa on 30 May 1966, when the city's name was changed from Léopoldville to Kinshasa. The archdiocese was visited by Pope John Paul II in May 1980 and again in August 1985.
The Archdiocese of Kinshasa is the metropolitan archdiocese of the Ecclesiastical Province of Kinshasa, which includes the following suffragan dioceses:
Kasongo Munganga
On Saturday, July 22, 1944, Constantin Kasongo was born in Ngulungu, Katanda Territory. His father, Ilunga Munsensa, was polygamous and died before he was born. He lost his mother at an early age. As an orphan, he could no longer attend school in Katanda. Therefore, he went to continue his middle school in Lusambo. Then, he joined his big brother Gaspard Kazadi who were a farmer in Ngandajika to attend high school. We all know that the first Congolese doctor is a gynecologist, Doctor Ilunga Felicien. But all didn't that he's also Kasongo's big brother who sponsored relocation from the province of East Kasai to the capital Kinshasa, on 1962. Once arrived in Kinshasa, Kasongo registered to College Albert 1st (actually ), where he graduated from high school, majoring in Poetry and Rhetoric of literature. Afterward, he earned an Economics degree at Lovanium University, now the University of Kinshasa.
