STORYLINE:
Pope Francis is heading to a distant land on Sunday, flying into remote Vanimo, on Papua New Guinea’s northwest coast with a ton of humanitarian aid and toys to deliver to the faithful and missionaries who live there.
He will meet with the small Catholic community there served by missionaries from his native Argentina.
He was only traveling with his closest aides and security detail, leaving the Vatican’s full delegation in Port Moresby.
Francis was being transported by a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 cargo plane and was bringing with him one ton of humanitarian aid, including medicine, clothes and toys for children, according to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni.
The aircraft, which is based at Australia’s base in Port Moresby, was being used both because of its cargo capacity — it’s also bringing Francis’ popemobile — and because the small airport in Vanimo doesn’t have an ambulift, the wheelchair elevator that Francis now needs to get on and off planes. By flying in on a C-130 Francis can disembark via the ramp, Vatican officials said.
