Lima, Peru, Dec 6, 2007 / 10:26 am
On December 16, more than 500 missionaries from the Diocese of Callao will be commissioned by their local bishop, Miguel Irizar, to evangelize house by house in the poor section of Pachacutec.
Beforehand, the bishop will celebrate a Mass in which he will give each participant the missionary’s cross, which he or she will carry with them as they evangelize.
The hundreds of missionaries were prepared throughout 2007 in various parishes in Callao, Peru.
