“Communio,” a missionary initiative of the Latin-Rite Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI), urged young religious nuns to commit to the work of the Church in the country.
The event at the CCBI Centre in Bangalore, south India, on August 31, 2024, highlighted the commitment of the young Sisters of the St. Joseph of Annecy Congregation towards their final profession in the Church in India.
Father Medaille, a Jesuit, established the Sisters of St. Joseph of Annecy, an international Congregation, at Le Puy, France, in 1650.
The session, which included around ten sisters from three provinces across India, aimed to prepare them for their final vows.
Father Stephen Alathara, Deputy Secretary General of CCBI, welcomed the sisters and provided them with insights into the history and ecclesiastical structures of the Church in India.
Fr. Gangula Vignan Das, Associate Director of Communio, explained the Communio Mission to the sisters.
The CCBI launched the "Communio" project in 2017 to support religious communities and dioceses operating in rural and underdeveloped parts of India.
Father Christopher Vimalraj, the Associate Deputy Secretary General of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI), shared about various CCBI initiatives.
He focused particularly on the new CCBI Pastoral Plan, titled Journeying towards a Synodal Church—Mission 2033.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
