Fr. Miguel de la Calle, the project’s leader, shared his enthusiasm for the event, expressing how thrilled the children are to have the opportunity to showcase their musical talents to Pope Francis in person.
The children from the QOP Orchestra will welcome the Pope at the end of his 13-kilometer golf cart ride in Vanimo, ready to bless the people with their music and singing.
Maestro Jesus Briceño, who will conduct the group, described the upcoming concert as “pure gold,” revealing that they are diligently preparing two beautiful pieces of music to present to the Pontiff during his visit.
Cardinal John Ribat, Archbishop of Port Moresby, described the Pope’s visit as a true blessing for the community. He acknowledged the Pope’s age and health concerns, yet commended his unwavering dedication to making the journey despite the challenges.
As the faithful await the Pope’s arrival, Cardinal Ribat emphasized the importance of welcoming Pope Francis with open hearts and minds, recognizing him as a humble servant of God entrusted with a significant role in the world.
