Father Will Conquer, a 37-year-old Franco-American priest of the Society of Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP), is visiting Mauritius from November 4 to 8. Having served in Cambodia since 2019, he will lead evangelization evenings and a spiritual retreat. On November 4 at 18:30, he will introduce the documentary 'Les Baroudeurs du Christ' at the J&J Auditorium. The priest has a personal connection to the island through his friendship with Rajesh Mohur, the mother of Saint Carlo Acutis. Conquer previously authored a biography of the young Italian saint. Originally considering a legal career, a trip to Calcutta redirected his life toward missionary work and digital evangelization.
