India marks World Day of the Poor

In Mumbai, the Church will be taking up donations to mark the World Day of the Poor, instituted by Pope Francis at the end of the Jubilee of Mercy. Cardinal Oswald Gracias, the Archbishop of Bombay, launched the ACTS project – standing for ‘Actively Called to Serve’ – which will give bags to each parish, so people can donate items like grain, rice, sugar, and toiletries for the less fortunate.

ACTS will work with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and the Centre for Community Organization.
