With 112 local priests, 173 Religious women and 27 catechists, the Diocese puts itself at the service of the 2.75 million people of different religions - Christians, Hindus, Muslims – and of different ethnic, social, caste and economic backgrounds trying to uplift the most vulnerable, poor and neglected of their society.

Bishop Antony tells us that his biggest job is education on all levels. Finding competent teachers and catechists is very hard in a place where most people are illiterate. But, through support from each of the Pontifical Mission Societies, schools are being built and staffed, parish communities are coming together under the direction of locally trained clergy and the evangelizing work of the Church goes on.
This is the work of the Propagation of the Faith and it could not be done without your prayers and sacrifices. As we approach World Mission Sunday, October 18th, a day set aside by the Holy Father for remembering the missionary work of the Church at every liturgy said around the world, may we continue to pray for the health, intentions and safety of Bishop Antony and all like him who work to bring the Good News of Jesus to all.
