Fr. Ignatius Ruppert and Br. Sebald Trenkle found the first Chuuk lagoon mission; St. Anthony church rises on Toloas.

What happened

The mission was sent from Pohnpei and built on a hill at Enin on Toloas (Dublon), near the government station opened three years earlier, in a place said to be haunted. Within months the island had its first church, a small thatched building dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua.
