Project Leader:
Reverend Arokia Samy
Despite being 19.9 million strong, Catholics in India are only 2% of the population. The rise of Hindu nationalism has increased persecutions of this Catholic minority. Lay catechists are performing the majority of ministry during this difficult time. In the Diocese of Vellore, there are only thirteen trained volunteers for eighty five parishes. Fr. Samy believes the best way to protect the Church in his diocese is to train effective lay leaders. A gift of $25 helps him build up and protect the Church in India.
