World Mission Sunday in Northeast India: prayer, animation, solidarity and peace

The Diocese of Miao in Arunachal Pradesh, India, marked the centenary of World Mission Sunday with activities intended to remind the faithful of their responsibility to proclaim the Gospel. Bishop George Pallipparambil, SDB, celebrated the occasion at the Cathedral of Miao, dedicated to Christ, the Light of the Nations.

The Bishop encouraged parishes and mission centers to organize activities that renew their commitment to evangelization. He stated that the Church's most urgent need in the region is for believers to act as missionary disciples who proclaim love and peace.

Father Felix Anthony, secretary of the Diocese of Miao Office for Social Communications, said the celebrations included the Eucharist, missionary animation, and family Rosary prayers. These efforts aimed to show that mission belongs to every baptized person and to connect the local community with the universal Church. The diocese is located in a remote area bordering China and Myanmar and serves various indigenous ethnic groups.
