PORT MORESBY: 23rd April 2006 -- Fr Luciano Odorico announced to
confreres in the PNG/SI Delegation today that the Apostolic Nuncio has
intervened personally on behalf of Fr Valeriano Barbero sdb, the
Delegation's 'original' missionary, to award him with the Papal Cross Pro
Ecclesia et Pontifice . Archbishop Adolfo Tito Yllana cites as
reasons for this award Fr Barbero's constant and generous services to
the nunciature over many years and to the persons of several nuncios,
including himself.
The Nuncio has been transferred to Pakistan where of course he will
again come into close contact with Salesians. He wanted in particular
to give this award to Fr Barbero before his departure. austraLasia
joins with the confreres of the Delegation in wishing Fr Val
congratulations and good wishes.
