In a letter to the Bishops of New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, His Excellency, Most Rev. Gabor Pinter, the Apostolic Nuncio, shared this news and asked for our prayers.
Please join us in commending the soul of this generous and faithful servant to the mercy of God. We pray for his eternal rest and for comfort for all those who mourn his loss.
