Fr. Ronald Abad, OMI from the Philippines and I visited St. Paul’s parish, Rajshahi Diocese, Bangladesh. The Santal Indigenous community welcomed us with their traditional customs.
I did my first priestly ministry in this parish in 2010. People were so happy to see us after such a long time. Fr. Ronald came to preach at our annual retreat this year and was pleased to visit our OMI Missions.
