Father Adrian Kotlarski begins missionary work in Turkmenistan

Father Adrian Kotlarski OMI has arrived in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, to serve the local Catholic community. His decision to undertake this mission was a gradual process, shaped by his previous experiences, including studies in Rome and pastoral service in Ukraine.

Kotlarski noted that while the Catholic community in Turkmenistan is microscopic, it provides a tangible face to the Church. He arrived in the country on August 1, during the peak of the summer heat, and is now working to support local believers in their faith.
