The site, called ‘Salle de Presse Pacifique,' will provide media professionals, bloggers, opinion leaders and the public with news and other resources about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific region.

This website the latest of over 50 that the Mormons have set up around the world.

Elder James J. Hamula says their goal is to help media and others who are not Mormons to understand the Church for what it really is.

"There are close to half a million Latter-day Saints in the Pacific region, who are part of a worldwide membership of over 14 million. Our members work in cities, towns and villages as police officers, teachers, doctors, builders and in many other occupations. We are happy to be part of the fabric of communities throughout the Pacific."
