The Catholic Information Center in Nagpur was opened on 15 March 2015 at the initiaive of Archbishop Abraham Viruthakulangara so as to help the laity of his diocese study the Bible more profoundly and get to understand it better.
Sr. Suman Tigga, fsp, director of the Center, writes: “We make ourselves available to people who wish to talk to us and we listen to their pains and sorrows.” The Center carries out its activities through various modes of communication: meetings with people, visits to schools, praying the rosary with local groups, the staging of street plays, choirs that sing hymns during the Christmas season, the holding of Bible art exhibits, and the use of games and films to make Jesus known to people of different Faiths.
To celebrate the Center’s first anniversary, the Archbishop presented certificates and a copy of the Bible to 60 people who had completed their Bible Course. This formation course also includes a correspondence course, which the FSPs are promoting and presenting in the parishes of the Archdiocese.
