Pope Francis visits Papua New Guinea

 




On Sunday, Pope Francos travelled to the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea, bringing  medicine, musical instruments and a message of love.

Francis flew aboard a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 transport plane from Port Moresby to Vanimo, on the northwest coast of the South Pacific nation, close to the border with Indonesia. There, Francis met with the local Catholic community and the missionaries from his native Argentina who have been ministering to them.

There are about 2.5 million Catholics in Papua New Guinea, according to Vatican statistics.
