His life story is not only about personal achievement but also about the transformation of society through equality, dignity, and constitutional rights. For Christians reflecting on social responsibility, Ambedkar Jayanti provides an important opportunity to connect the ideals of ju

Our beloved Pope Francis is the man to be honoured as we are celebrating his first death anniversary. We love his preaching, especially when he preached of peace and acceptance and reflected those values through his actions. He chose Francis as his papal name in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. Throughout his papacy, Francis was noted for his humility and emphasis on God’s mercy. Pope Francis has revealed that he was inspired and chose his papal name to honour St. Francis

The International Earth Day, serves as a powerful reminder that environmental stewardship is not just a civic duty, but a divine mandate. Scripture—from the garden of Genesis to the "groaning" creation in Romans—clarifies that the earth belongs to the Lord, and we are its entrusted caretakers.

On behalf of the Delhi CRI Unit, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to His Grace Archbishop Anil Joseph Thomas Couto as he celebrates the Silver Jubilee of his episcopal ordination. Over these twenty-five years of episcopal ministry, the Church in Delhi and Jalandhar have witnessed a shepherd whose stewardship has been marked by two deeply complementary virtues: diligence and dialogue.

The Annunciation teaches believers about the importance of surrendering to God's will, even when it requires courage and sacrifice. Mary did not fully know what lay ahead, yet she chose faith over fear. Her “Yes” is often viewed as a pivotal moment in human history, as it allowed the Savior to enter the world.
