Letter 11119: **From:** Gregory I, Bishop of Rome
The work of bringing the Barbaricini to the faith is one of the projects closest to my heart, and Bonifacius has been doing important work among them. I want you to support him — practically, administratively, in whatever ways you can. This is difficult mission territory and those working there need the backing of the Church's representatives in the region. Make sure Bonifacius has what he needs and that obstacles placed in his way are removed.
