San Franciscan Rory Desmond narrates a slideshow on his mission trip to Miao, India, in the remote Himalayan region of Arunachal Pradesh. Desmond documents the impact the Catholic faith is having on the isolated mountain region as people convert from traditional nature worship to the Gospel faith, attracted especially by the sacraments, the Catechism, the rosary, the Communion of Saints and access to education. Desmond has been appointed by the Bishop of Miao, P.K. George, to develop a sister diocese relationship with the Archdiocese of San Francisco. He is working in consultation with Archbishop George Niederauer.
