Peter ToRot’s Cemetery & Memorial Church

As the Burma Rd begins to dip towards the coast, it passes through the Rakunai site of Peter ToRot’s Cemetery and Memorial Church. Peter ToRot was a village priest who was killed by the Japanese in July 1945. His remains were beatified by John Paul II in 1995. It’s moving to see a multitude of families in pressed shirts, print dresses and bare feet walk many kilometres to Sunday church.
