MONGOLIA Ulaanbaatar, Mongolian Catholics celebrate the inauguration of a sixth parish - Asia News: "Ulaanbaatar (AsiaNews / EDA) - In witness to the continued growth of Catholics in Mongolia, last weekend the Apostolic Prefect of Ulaanbaatar Msgr. Wenceslao Padilla opened the sixth parish in the country. The event was held on October 28 last and is part of the celebrations planned for the 20 anniversary of the local Church. It is a young, and active Church eager to expand and offer missionary witness, despite difficulties and obstacles, even from government authorities.
In 1992, at the time of the first foreign missionaries (especially Filipino), including the future Bishop Padilla of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, there were no parishes in the nation. And only a few months ago, there were still four, confirming the development path taken by the Mongolian Church."
