Over 35, 000 Catholics gathered this morning at the Sir John Guise Stadium in Port Moresby to celebrate the Holy Mass with the Holy Father, Pope Francis.
The gathering saw Catholic faithfuls from all over Papua New Guinea, those ones who can make to Port Moresby, attend the Mass which started just after 8am.
Following the conclusion of the Holy Mass, we (PNG HAUSBUNG) had a chat with some of these faithfuls who attended with the rest of the people to get their thoughts about the service and Pope’s message to Papua New Guinea.
Many felt blessed just to be there and to see the Pope, highlighting the significance of his message, which are instructions for all Christians to live as one, protect nature and focus on peace amongst all men.
