"Christians should learn to treasure and appreciate their origins, by protecting them. Over the 135 years of the diocese's history of evangelization, we have three churches that have been in existence for over a century. We have seen so many foreign missionaries that have left their homelands and all they had to come to this island. They have left us an immense treasure of manuscripts, historical objects, monuments, poems, sacred music...and, above all, their own impressive testimony. The life of the diocese in itself is a monument built by missionary pioneers. We have the duty of conserving it with care, as a pearl of great price."
