Catholics In Mongolia

ULAN BATOR, MONGOLIA - JULY 19: Catholic Mongolians pray during a mass at St. Peter and St. Paul Parish church July 19, 2003 in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. After the Catholic mission appeared in Mongolia 11 years ago, the community totals just 170 congregants. Despite the cancellation of a visit by Pope John Paul II, the tiny Catholic community continues to make preparations for a papal visit, including improvements to a cathedral and sewing the vestments and chasubles that would be worn during a papal mass.
