New Delhi: The Catholic diocese with the largest geographical area in the world will be erected in India on Friday.
Cardinal Baselios Cleemis, head of the Syro-Malankara Church, will
inaugurate Gurgaon diocese and install Mar Jacob Barnabas as its first
bishop in the presence of political and Church leaders and thousands of
faithful at Neb Sarai, a South Delhi suburb.
The diocese has been making a mark in the social and charity sectors
with several outreach programs, said Fr Varghese Mattamana, spokesperson
for the Church.
The most successful program is its Food for Hungry program where they
supply food packets to some 600 vagabonds found on the Delhi streets.
Started with 30 packets a few years ago, the program has reached more
than 100,000 people, Fr Mattamana said.
