CCBI Secretariat, 15 January 2026:During the training programme on Organizational and Financial Compliance held at ISI, Bengaluru, and conducted by AMRAT, the Communio initiative reached out meaningfully to 75 religious sisters participating in the programme. These religious sisters are actively engaged in anti-human trafficking ministry and are members of the AMRAT network. AMRAT, the Asian Movement of Women Religious Against Human Trafficking, is the Indian wing of Talitha Kum, the international network of consecrated life committed to combating human trafficking worldwide.
On this occasion, Fr. Vignan offered the Holy Mass and reflected on God’s call for each person. In his homily, he emphasized that without God we can do nothing, and that every form of ministry must be rooted in God’s presence, guidance, and grace. He reminded the participants that ministry is not merely an activity, but a faithful response to God’s call lived in dependence on Him.
Following the Holy Mass, the Communio team Fr Vignan Das and Sr Margarita Dias SCB conducted an awareness session, introducing the Communio programme, its vision, missionary dimension, activities, and ongoing projects. The session presented Communio as a platform of ecclesial solidarity that supports the mission of the Church through shared responsibility and collaboration.As a token love and gratitude Communio calendar were distributed to all gathered.
The religious sisters responded positively to the session and shared that it deepened their understanding of Communio, particularly its missionary aspect and service to the Church. They appreciated Communio for its efforts in reaching out to the Church in India and for equipping young people for a committed missionary life. The participants acknowledged that the works of Communio are meaningful and relevant and expressed appreciation for the informative presentation and the impact of Communio’s mission at various levels of Church life.
The Communio team remains grateful to the organizing team, the Sisters, and Ms. Rosy Mary for creating space for Communio and for facilitating this meaningful interaction.
