Archbishop Eamon Martin welcomes the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis Querida Amazonia (Beloved Amazonia)
 
"It would be wonderful if some Irish priests, religious and lay missionaries were to consider offering even a five year period of ministry to the Amazon” – Archbishop Eamon Martin

  
"I warmly welcome the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis Querida Amazonia (Beloved Amazonia), which the Holy Father Pope Francis published today, on the challenges facing the Amazon region and lessons for the Church worldwide. The document reflects the four key dimensions – cultural, ecological, social and pastoral - which were discussed at the Amazonian Synod in Rome last October, and it highlights how these are inextricably linked."
