Dear brethren,

Today is the Memorial Day of St. Peter Claver who helped thousands of African slaves at the Port of Cartagena in Columbia in the 17th century. It is quite opportune that we have chosen this day, to gather here, at this Independence Ground to offer our supplications for the victims of human trafficking; to encourage government, religious leaders, groups and individuals that assist them, to plead for proactive actions against the vice, and to appeal for the conversion of the perpetrators involved in this heinous crime.

Many remember Fr. Giuseppe Ambrosoli, a Comboni Missionary Priest who ministered in Uganda’s Archdiocese of Gulu as a beloved minister of the Eucharist, surgeon, philanthropist, and educator in the Eastern African country where he is set to be beatified on November 20.
