Welcome to the remarkable world of “Communio” – a powerful initiative that is making waves in rural development projects across India. Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão, president of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India, recently celebrated the astounding growth of Communio at an event in Pethapur, Gujarat.
In his address, Cardinal Ferrão credited the success of Communio to divine providence, emphasizing how the initiative reflects the solidarity and unity of the early Church. The event marked the release of Communio’s report book, showcasing the significant impact the organization has had on rural communities throughout India.
Since its establishment in 2017, Communio, under the leadership of the CCBI, has spearheaded more than 250 projects to uplift and empower rural areas, with 100 ongoing projects currently in motion. The gathering saw the presence of eminent ecclesiastical leaders, including Cardinal Oswald Gracias and Archbishop Thomas Macwan, who lauded Communio’s efforts.
Gratitude overflowed as Cardinal Ferrão expressed appreciation for all the contributors and supporters of Communio, urging fellow ecclesiastical leaders to champion this noble cause. He highlighted the transformative impact of the initiative on marginalized communities, underscoring the crucial role of collaboration and faith-driven initiatives in serving vulnerable populations.
The event also shed light on the positive influence of Communio on Sacred Heart Church, which has benefitted from the initiative’s funding for various community projects. It was a testament to the power of collective action and the unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of those in need.
As we celebrate the success of Communio and its tireless efforts towards rural development, let us be inspired to join hands in creating a better, more inclusive society for all. Together, we can make a difference and transform lives for the better.
