My dear collaborators,
I am writing to inform you that Pope Francis has communicated to the Universal Church that Monday, October 07, 2024 should be observed as a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the world. “In this dramatic hour of our history, while the winds of war and the fires of violence continue to devastate entire people and nations, I ask everyone to take part in a day of prayer and fasting for peace in the world” (Pope Francis: October 02, 2024). Accordingly, I am requesting you to make an announcement during all the weekend Masses of October 05-06, 2024, that Monday, October 07 should be observed as a day of prayer and fasting in our Diocese for peace in the world.
May I also take this opportunity to remind you of the Recollection on Thursday, October 10 at St Anne Cathedral, Nashik from 10.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. followed by lunch. All Diocesan priests and Religious men are requested to attend.
Thank you for the selfless services you render to your people and with every good wish,
Yours in Christ,
+Barthol Barretto
Bishop of Nashik
