Serra canonization should be call to respect cultures, superior says

U.S. Franciscan Father Michael Perry, minister general of the Order of Friars Minor, is pictured at the Franciscan headquarters in Rome June 12. Fr. Perry says the canonization of Blessed Junipero Serra is a chance to enter into a dialogue with all cultures and people, especially the Californian native peoples.

ROME - The canonization of Blessed Junipero Serra honours a famous missionary who was motivated by love of God, but it also is a call to recognize how the process of evangelization must respect peoples and their cultures, said the head of the Franciscan order.
