Pope brings in a ton of humanitarian aid, toys to remote Papua New Guinea as he celebrates periphery
Pope Francis is honoring the Catholic Church of the peripheries in Papua New Guinea. He is heading to a remote part of the South Pacific nation with a ton of humanitarian aid to deliver to the missionaries and faithful who live there. Francis started his Sunday in the capital, with a Mass before an estimated 35,000 people. Later he was flying into remote Vanimo, on Papua New Guinea’s northwest coast. An Australian military cargo plane was airlifting in a ton of medicine, clothes and toys.
