Their mission, deeply rooted in education, has touched countless lives since their arrival in 1946. You see, these weren’t just missionaries; they were pioneers. They came with a vision to empower Papua New Guinean youth through education, establishing teacher training colleges and schools in even the most remote areas. The De La Salle Chapel represents their commitment to nurturing not just minds, but also hearts and souls.
