Hundreds of Catholic faithful gathered at Jacksons International Airport recently to welcome the Vatican’s secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin. Among them was Air Niugini chairman Sir Frederick Reiher (left) and acting chief executive officer, Tahawar Durrani (right). They’re pictured with PNG Cardinal Sir John Ribat, Cardinal Parolin, and Archbishop Kurian Mathew Vayalunkal. Cardinal Parolin arrived on an Air Niugini flight from Singapore to attend the Federation of the Catholic Bishops Conference Oceania. ■
