Sharing faith experiences - I – Fr Saju, CMI


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.

God calls each one of us to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith.
