Prayer Day for Lay MissionariesEach month the lay missionaries from various Catholic groups working in Cambodia meet for education, formation, socialization, and mutual support. The meeting in December was held at Banteay Prieb, a Jesuit center for people with disabilities located outside of Phnom Penh. "Banteay Prieb" means "center of doves." It started out as an orphanage but was taken over by the Khmer Rouge as a torture center. Today the Jesuits have retained the original name to reflect the peace and hope they wish to bring now to people with disabilities who are trained there. |
