The planting of the Catholic Church in this country was a very costly, indeed very bloody, enterprise, in terms of human lives lost. It is very important, therefore, that we keep alive the memory of this tragic chapter in the history of our Church in Sierra Leone. But it is even more important that we maintain and promote a missionary consciousness at all levels in our local Church as it is the best homage we could pay to those who sacrificed their lives in the process of establishing the Church in our land.
