Communio Volunteers Begin Pilgrimage in Tura diocese, Meghalaya

Tura, November 11, 2025: Marking a significant step in their missionary journey, the Communio Volunteers have begun their Pilgrimage of Hope in the Diocese of Tura — a mission experience rooted in faith, service, and communion. The initiative reflects the spirit of the Jubilee Year, calling young volunteers to become witnesses of Christ’s love through action and presence among the people of Tura.

The preparatory sessions were led by Fr. Vignan Das and Sr. Margarita Dias SCB, Associate Directors of Communio, who guided the volunteers through prayer, reflection, and sharing. The spiritual encounter deepened their sense of mission as a journey of faith, communion, and service.

On November 9, the volunteers joined the Annual Eucharistic Procession in the Diocese of Tura, a vibrant expression of faith that drew large participation from the faithful. During the event, Bishop Andrew R. Marak addressed the youth, urging them to live their faith with joy and dedication, reminding them that “mission begins in the heart and flows outward through acts of love and compassion.”

Auxiliary Bishop Jose Chirackal, of Tura, presided over the Holy Eucharist and blessed the volunteers before their mission journey. His message of encouragement inspired them to go forth as bearers of God’s love and mercy.
