It’s a long way from Chicago to the dry red dust of Central Australia, but for SVD student Paul Aquino, the experience has opened up a whole new world to him and helped prepare him for his life as a Divine Word Missionary.
Paul is originally from the Philippines and is undergoing his SVD formation in Chicago. He came to the AUS Province as part of the Overseas Training Program, a placement he has just completed.
