Peter To Rot (/toʊroʊt/; 5 March 1912 - 7 July 1945) was a Papua New Guinea Roman Catholic.[1] He served as a well-noted and beloved catechist in his village and was entrusted with the local parish during World War II when the Japanese occupied the region.[2] He stood up for religious values in the face of Japanese oppression and continued to hold secret services when the Japanese restricted him from active pastoral service. To Rot valued marriage - he himself had been married since 1936 - and he was an outspoken critic of Japanese views on taking multiple wives.[3][4]
His beatification was celebrated in Papua New Guinea in 1995.[1][3]
