India’s National Centre for Proclamation inaugurated


(October 20, 2011) A national resource centre for the formation of evangelizers has been inaugurated in central India’s Madhya Pradesh state. Called ‘Suvarta Kendra’, the National Centre for Proclamation, owned by the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) or Latin rite bishops of India, was inaugurated at Pachmarhi, on Tuesday with a Mass by Bishop Sebastianappan Singaroyan of Salem, the Chairman of the CCBI Commission for Proclamation. “It is a great boon and blessing for the Church in India to have Suvarta Kendra to motivate, animate, empower and equip the laity, catechists, religious and priests in sharing the Good News of the Lord.” Bishop Singaroyan said. The main celebrant, Bishop Isidore Fernandes of Allahabad, former Chairman of the CCBI Commission for Proclamation, said, “It is a historic moment for the Church in India to have a resource centre for the formation of evangelizers for our country.” Archbisiop Leo Cornelio of Bhopal said Suvarta Kendra will put Pachmarhi on the world map with many coming from every corner of India to receive the zeal in sharing the good news.
