On October 3, 2024, the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus officially inaugurated the mission in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Fr. Orville Cajigal, RCJ, the SMP Provincial Superior, joined by the Rogationist Missionaries: Fr. Welbert Llyd Suarez, RCJ; Fr. Zander Conson, RCJ; Fr. PJ Mapacpac, RCJ; and Fr. JR Arreza, RCJ, led this meeting.
The Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus met with representatives from the Archdiocese of Port Moresby, including Fr. Justin Nenat, SVD, the Vicar General; Fr. Bruce, the Pastoral Vicar; and Fr. Carol, MSC, the Secretary to the Archbishop. This gathering underscored the Rogationists' commitment to the archdiocese and marked the appointment of Fr. Zander Conson, RCJ, as the new director of St. Joseph International College. Both parties expressed gratitude for their partnership and shared a vision for collaboration, particularly in educational initiatives.
Let us continue to entrust this nascent mission through the intercessions of our Father Founder, St. Hannibal Mary Di Francia, and St. Joseph, to spread the seed of the Rogate in Port Moresby. Send, O Lord, holy apostles into Your church!
