On Tuesday, 24th February, Fr Joseph celebrated his first solemn Mass of Thanksgiving on his home island, Walis, just off the coast of PNG near Wewak. A crowd of us went over from wewak for the great occasion, which saw just about everyone on the island, and the neighbouring island of Tarawai, took part. Here are just a few pictures of the great celebration.
