"Mission in Paradise" / Father McCarrick / 4.29




Vast Area to Evangelize...

Leading off the afternoon's presentations on Wednesday, April 29, was the national director of the Pacific Islands, Father Roger McCarrick. This veteran missionary - he had served in Pakistan for a number of years - detailed the expansive territory for evangelization in Oceania. He also offered a picture of the history of missionary work on these islands, and the status of the Church there today.

A link to the first of two videos of his presentation is to the right; watch for another video to be posted to this site soon.

To download his detailed PowerPoint, please click links 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11; this offers the PowerPoint in order.

There is a written text of his talk available at this link.
