The head of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) attributed the remarkable growth of the charitable initiative ‘Communio’ to divine providence during an event at Sacred Heart Church in Pethapur, Gujarat. “Communio embodies the spirit of solidarity, echoing the early Church’s unity and the power of the Holy Spirit,” said Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão.
The gathering celebrated the release of Communio’s report book, which details the organization’s ex-tensive contributions to rural development projects across India, according to a report by Catholic Connect. Communio, established in 2017 by the CCBI, has initiated and supported over 250 projects aimed at improving conditions in rural communities, with 100 projects currently active. The event was attended by ecclesiastical leaders, including Cardinal Oswald Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, who received the first copy of the report book.
