Pope Francis travelled to the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea on Sunday to celebrate the Catholic Church of the peripheries, taking with him a ton of medicine, musical instruments and a message of love for the people who live there.

Francis flew in a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 transport plane from the South Pacific nation’s capital, Port Moresby, to Vanimo, on the north-west coast, where he met the local Catholic community and missionaries from his native Argentina who have been ministering to them.
