KASALEHLIE!
We hope that the information presented here will be of interest to you and helpful, whether you are a local resident or a visitor to our vicariate or someone doing research on the Church in this area.
It rains a lot here on the main island – some estimate it to be over 400" per year! This blessing from the Creator makes the island flourish in greenery, waterfalls and rivers – so much rain makes a good metaphor for the over abundance of God’s grace available to the men and women, boys and girls of faith that comprise the ten parishes, two missions, and other groups within the larger faith community of Pohnpei-Kosrae.
Our Church is young and vigorous, growing steadily but with bumps along the way. The challenges of building the City of God in this part of the diocese are many. Our human resources are limited, and there are never as many laborers in the vineyard as one would desire, but most of those we have are very self-sacrificing and happy in their ministries. We live in hope, and trust the Lord’s power to bring about the increase. We invite you join us! Pray for us! Even better, pray with us!Sincerely yours in our Lord,
Dave Andrus, S.J.
The Vicar of Pohnpei-Kosrae
