The English-speaking Catholic community was formed in the late 1980s when Fr. Tom Dunleavy was the first priest to return–at the request of the Vatican–to Cambodia after the Khmer Rouge era. The community met in hotel rooms at first, then in a classroom, then a cultural center, and then moved to the auditorium of World Vision Cambodia pictured above. The third-floor windows on the wing extending to the left are those of the auditorium which we use on Saturday evenings at 5:00 PM. We have another liturgy on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM at St. Joseph Church on the other side of town.
Today I was part of a Caritas Just Leadership Day in place of presentations in the Broome Diocese where flooding canceled our travel plans. 
This morning was occupied with three masses in two churches, and running back and forth between them. Then after lunch I packed up and went to the airport to return to Perth.
