"Communio” is an initiative of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) to assist all our Dioceses and Religious Congregations working in rural and mission areas, in their pastoral ministry. The Communio India was inaugurated during the 29 Plenary Assembly held in Bhopal from 31 January to 8 February, 2017.
The objectives of Communio:
(1) To assist our dioceses and religious congregations working in the missions.
(2) To build a culture of sharing among our own people in order to express solidarity with our needy brothers and sisters in the country.
(3) To encourage our faithful to pray and help the missions and the missionaries and to promote missionary vocations.
(4) To inspire our lay faithful to work in mission areas as lay missionaries.
(5) To prepare all our faithful as missionary disciples envisaged by Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium.
