The Catholic Church in Mizoram on November 20 ended the celebration of the 75 years of the presence of priests in the northeastern Indian state with Cardinal Oswald Gracias hailing the Mizo society for setting an example for the rest of the country.
“Your core values of solidarity, concern for the other, community feeling, decision by consensus, kindness, casteless society, and non-discrimination that are the values of Jesus,” the cardinal, who is the archbishop of Bombay and the chief guest, told a public reception. The public meeting concluded the November 18-20 celebrations. It was preceded by a solemn Mass presided over by the cardinal at the Christ the King Cathedral at Kulikawn, Aizawl, the state capital.
