Kanpur, Nov 25, 2021: The Indian Catholic Forum, a collective of Catholics in the country, plans to meet next year to seek the Church’s reform and renewal.

The February 5-6, 2022, program in Bengaluru, known as the Vatican of India, will stress sharing, praying, listening and dialoguing. The two-day deliberations would be recorded and synthesized, says a press note from the forum convener Kanpur-based chhotebhai.

The meet on “Journeying Together – the Path Ahead” is expected to come up with a 10-page synthesis that would be sent to the Vatican by April 2022, it adds.

The program, the press note says, will have no chief guests, ceremonials or keynote speakers in the spirit of the Synod.

“Jesus will be the chief guest and every participant will be a guest of honor,” the press note says.

Pope Francis has called the Synod during 2022-2023.

Those interested in the program is asked to contact chhotebhai (Mob 9415130822 email: noronha.kp@gmail.com) or Anil Piers, organizing secretary in Bengaluru (Mob 9980326064 email: anil.piers@deejayfarm.com).
