Bishop Joseph Durero SVD appeals for prayers for rain

Bishop Joseph Durero SVD, the bishop of Daru-Kiunga, has asked for prayers for rain and for those suffering from drought in Western Province and other parts of Papua New Guinea.

During Mass at the Catholic Bishops Conference in Port Moresby, Bishop Durero described the drought, caused by El Niño, as devastating to communities across the province. He made the request as an urgent pastoral appeal to address the severe conditions facing local populations.
