On the 7
th of July 2021, the Catholic Church in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands commemorate the martyrdom of Blessed Peter ToRot.
Catholic Theological Institute-Bomana came alive with the reception of a Blessed Peter ToRot statue, which was donated as a token of an appreciation from Grand Chief Sir Michael Somare’s family for CTI’s participation during the State Funeral Mass.
The ceremony was simple but solemn and well-integrated. The statue was processed with a white and blue choir and statue bearers who were rhythmically accompanied by the reddish eye-catching Tolai dancers who put up a moving atmosphere of prayerful melodies in the presence of the entire faculty, staff, students, families, and friends.
