I know my grandparents and parents suffered much during the Japanese Occupation. I was not born then but life was not so rosy during my childhood cause the country was only beginning to be independent but now life is so much better and great.alicesghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093018474724459190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924670542270721219.post-75618706843910865642008-07-28T12:18:00.000+10:002008-07-28T12:18:00.000+10:00It is a beautiful church in every way.

It's lovely, especially the stained glass.<BR/><BR/>I discovered just a few years ago that the Philippine Jesuits have a school for pastoral studies which is well-known among PNG Catholic priests (more well-known there than in the Philippines, apparently).
