Sharing faith experiences – Archbishop Thomas D’Souza - II


Welcome to our special program on the Year of Faith, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, a series on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of faith in the Catholic Church from around the world.
These are people who lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. They are examples of great fortitude and virtue. Their unique stories inspire us to be rooted in our faith. God calls each one of us today to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith.
The Faithful Witness of this week is Archbishop Thomas D’Souza of Calcutta Archdiocese. He spoke about the Calcutta archdiocese, its faith enhancing activities, and evangelization last week in the first part of this interview. This week the Archbishop will share with us his faith challenges, pastoral priorities, and more.
