I read this report online. first time I've read it. I really wasn't aware that the annual report existed for public view. The short article and link to the document is given below. As we offer our intentions during morning and evening prayer let us remember those who have given their life in God's service.

The Fides news service has released a list of 20 priests, religious, and lay catechists who were killed while serving on Church assignments in 2008. The list is headed by Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho of the Chaldean diocese of Mosul, Iraq. Fides shows 8 Church workers killed in Asia (Iraq, India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, and Nepal); 5 in the Americas (Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil); 5 in Africa (Kenya, Guinea Conakry, Nigeria, and Congo); and 2 in Europe (Russia).
