New Ireland Police and other disciplinary forces have signed a partnership agreement with the Catholic Church.

This was done during the visit by Apostolic Nuncio (Ambassador) in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands, Fermin Emilio Sosa Rodriguez during a recent visit to Kavieng.

The partnership will see the police and correctional service work together with the Church in order to identify effective service in the province.

Rodriguez was given a welcome parade upon his arrival at the Kavieng Airport before heading to the Catholic Diocese Cathedral. His visit to the province is to open dialogue and celebrate the Chrism Mass under his leadership.

The Chrism Mass is one of the most solemn and important liturgies of the Christian Calendar where the holy oil used for sacrament and Holy Orders are anointed and the consecration of alters and dedication of churches are conducted.

Ambassador Rodriguez was impressed with the warm welcome and thanked New Ireland Provincial Police Commander, Chief Inspector Felix Nebanat for the partnership between the Church and disciplinary forces.

PPC Nebanat said policing is a shared responsibility and working with the Church will certainly improve its services given the rise in law-and-order issues in New Ireland.

“It’s a historical occasion for disciplinary forces and the people of New Ireland,” said PPC Nebanat.

“I am greatly grateful and truly humbled to see this partnership forged,” he added.
