"The Church works to promote vocations. Our Church was born of missionaries who came a long time ago to our country. Now the time has come for us to shoulder our responsibilities as mature Christians at the spiritual and material level. There is still much space for missionaries who help keep the faith alive. We wish to ask the missionaries to work for the future of the county, helping us to form our young people."
