Apostolic Nuncio

A farewell celebration was accorded to him at the St. Joseph Parish in Port Moresby recently.

Those who gathered expressed their appreciation for the informal nature of the Apostolic Nuncio and his constant encouragement.

The Apostolic Nuncio thanked the people for their openness, and appreciated the bishops for their dedication and sacrifice.

The Apostolic Nuncio is scheduled to leave Papua New Guinea to take up his new assignment, by the end of the month.

The Apostolic Nuncio recently celebrated mass with the Bishops of Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands at the Catholic Bishops Conference, where they are currently gathered for the 60th Annual General Meeting.

As he addressed the Bishops, he reflected on the reading on Acts 6:8-15.  

“In today’s first reading we heard about Stephen who is a model of a believer who accomplishes the work of God. He preached without fear because he knew that his message is from the Holy Spirit,” said the Archbishop.
