India, Rourkela Catholics called to step up evangelization
Rourkela (AsiaNews) - Priests, religious and lay Catholics in
Rourkela (Orissa) must participate in evangelization because "all
of us, as baptized, are called to
be missionaries." This is the invitation launched by Msgr. Kishor Kumar
Kujur, bishop of the diocese, in his message for World Mission Sunday,
which this year falls on October 19.
"I
exhort all the Catholics of the diocese - says the bishop - to ignite in themselves the spirit of
evangelization and participate in the missionary activities of the universal
church. We can participate in the missionary activities in different countries
of the world or we can support the missionaries working in different parts of
the world by our financial contribution as well as our prayers".
Msgr. Kujur says
he is proud that the" diocese is sending large number of priests, nuns and
brothers to work as missionaries. I wish we generously contribute financially
also for the missionaries activities throughout the world."
