Kinshasa Province, encircling the Democratic Republic of the Congo's capital, drives African Catholicism via the Archdiocese of Kinshasa (1959), pioneering the Zairean Rite with dance-infused liturgies. Serving 6+ million Catholics (part of 50–55 million nationwide), its 1,200+ priests lead schools and peace efforts, symbolizing the continent's 1.7% annual Catholic growth in conflict zones.
