The Pope’s three-day visit to the country will include time in the capital Port Moresby where he will meet with authorities, civil societies and church leaders, participating in Sunday mass before heading to the remote town of Vanimo to meet with Catholic missionaries. “During the mass we’ll also be having a traditional entrance procession as well as we have the official procession, which will be traditional dancers showcasing something from the cultural context of Papua New Guinea,” said Sr. Daisy Anne Lisania, spokesperson for the Catholic Church in Papua New Guinea.
