Project In Focus
We give thanks every day for all you do for our brothers and sisters in crisis.
Your support and prayers are vital to our mission and are never taken for granted.
The Catholic Church in northeast India is still relatively young and took root at the end of the 19th century. Indeed, in many parts of this region, the Catholic presence dates back no more than a few decades.
There are 94 priests, who minister to the faithful with great zeal. But their work is not easy. At the outstations, people wait for the sacraments and for pastoral support.
The local church is blessed with many home-grown vocations, and 22 young men from the diocese of Bongaigaon are currently training for the priesthood. But they themselves are from poor, indigenous families who have no way of financially supporting their sons in their studies.
