austraLasia #2675 Welcome to the new Salesian Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabaul
RABAUL: 15 July 2010 -- July 11 was a great and memorable day for
the Salesians of Papua New Guinea: Bishop Francesco Panfilo was
installed as Coadjutor Archbishop of Rabaul. The sad part of it is that
no Salesian was present at the ceremony. Both Fr. Valeriano Barbero,
his close friend, and the Salesians of Rabaul who were in Port Moresby
for the annual Retreat, could not board the plane because it was
overbooked. Three hours of begging for a place did not bring any
result. PNG style: either the flights are cancelled or overbooked. In
order to fly you need luck. Anyway Bishop Panfilo or better
Achbishop Francesco Panfilo accepted our apology, wrote that the
installation ceremony was very solemn and that he will contact us with
some news as soon as he will have a telephone...that works! _________________ AustraLasia is an
