“Mission does not have to be going off to distant lands to evangelize. Rather, most of the time, it is right where you are living.”
Fr. Matheus Ro, SVD, was born in Maubesi, a small town on Timor Island in Indonesia, one of 13 children. He came to the United States in 1996 and arrived at Divine Word College in Epworth the following year, graduating in December, 2001. Fr. Matheus spent his Cross-cultural Training Program in McDowell County, West Virginia, working in four parishes.
