 The Catholic Church has completed 15 years in Mongolia, picking up many "lessons" for the future along the way.
"God has done great things for us, and we are glad!" Bishop Wenceslao Padilla, apostolic prefect of Ulaanbaatar, told UCA News recently.
The Filipino Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM) prelate arrived with two confreres in 1992 to open the Mongolian mission, and the growth in the numbers of Church personnel and local Catholics since then is an obvious fact.
Today, 64 missioners from 18 countries belonging to nine Religious congregations and a Korean diocese, together with six lay missioners from three countries serve the local Church. |

 Celebrating a 60th birthday for some is a milestone marked by visions of retirement - celebrating achievements and dreaming of new endeavours. The World Council of Churches (WCC), however, on its 60th "birthday" in 2008 does not want to rest on past feats as it looks ahead to the challenges of the 21st century. The largest, most inclusive fellowship of churches in the world, and the pre-eminent face of 20th century ecumenism, is grappling with a very different world today - politically, economically, religiously - than the one it faced following the second world war. |
