A Missionary Sister of the Immaculate, Sr. Lorenza works in the dense and predominantly Muslim country of Bangladesh. Recently, she was reassigned to the mission of Mymensingh in Bangladesh.

His mission here focuses on social issues within Japanese society, especially among youth and young people. Fr.

The Fifteenth Station: The Resurrection
Fr. Anand Talluri, PIME
PIME Missionary in the new mission of Tunisia, Fr. Anand shares his Catholic faith indirectly by witnessing Christ’s mercy and charity. A priest in a predominantly Muslim country, Fr.
