October 19th, 2011 was marked with the visit of our Apostolic Nuncio from Bangkok, His Excellency Archbishop Giovanni Daniello. We at St. Michael the Archangel Parish, Mother of Perpetual Help Center and Mother Teresa's Children's Home were happy and honored to give hospitality to him and our Bishop Joseph Luechai Thatwisai.
His Excellency was greeted by parishioners from St. Michael's, parishioners from the parish in Loei, patients and staff from Mother of Perpetual Help Center, Sisters and children from Mother Teresa's Home. After greeting our visitors everyone proceeded to our meeting room where presentations about the various ministries in Nong Bua Lamphu were given. Before going to the Church the Archbishop and Bishop Joseph toured the Center and Hospice, then everyone proceeded to the Church where the Archbishop gave a short presentation and talk to the crowd before going to the Sala to enjoy a meal together - again with some presentations and performances by the youth from Ban Mae Marie and the children from the home.
The days events were enjoyed by all and we were happy as well that many from Loei were able to attend since the Archbishop did not have time to travel to Loei. Soon after lunch he then went on to visit the church in Khon Kaen and other parts of the Udon Thani Diocese before making a visit also to the Diocese of Tare in the Province of Sakorn Nakon.
