The Solomons are an island nation with approximately 1,000 islands. They are in a long thin chain stretching about 1,000Km in a NW-SE direction.
Many of these islands are populated. There are differences in language and culture between the people of the various islands. Indeed, on many islands there can be a number of different languages on the island. This came about hundreds or even thousands of years ago when headhunting was rife and communities kept to themselves.
We are celebrating the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary to Heaven. The feast day falls on Friday 15 the August, 2025 and here in SI, it is the patron for all Catholic mothers.
