Roeping
Summary
Missionary film about a young priest in Africa who helps lepers.
A young man follows his calling, and travels to Africa as a missionary, where he works at a leper colony. He experiences the customary opposition, and is eventually poisoned. But all his efforts were not in vain: health care is continued, and the colony sees the arrival of schools, a seminary, and even a cathedral.
