Papua New Guinea: 125 Years of the Catholic faith - Vatican News

David Martinez · · News about the Church
The Diocese of Bougainville marks 125 years of Catholic missionary presence from August 14 to 17, 2026, honoring generations of missionaries, catechists, and local faithful.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will preside over the Jubilee Mass on August 16 at Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral in Hahela. The anniversary is more than a commemoration of the past: the local Church has grown into a vibrant community of more than 200,000 Catholics across 35 parishes.

The missionaries of the past have laid the foundations; today's local Church must build upon them.
