Today our Sisters began a journey out of Goma in response to the government’s call to evacuate. Since Saturday’s volcanic eruption earth tremors have continued every few minutes, causing cracks to appear in the ground and in the walls of buildings, including in the walls of our Monastery. The latest assessments are that there is significant risk of further eruptions of Mount Nyiragongo,
Three Sisters remain in Goma to watch over the monastery. The rest of the community is en-route along the heavily congested road out of Goma to Sake, and onwards to another Monastery.
Thank you for continuing to pray for our Sisters and for all the people of Goma, those who have fled, those who remain in the city.
