Diocese of Nashik
My dear collaborators,
I am writing these lines regarding Mission Sunday 2024.
The Holy Father has sent a beautiful message based on an important Scripture verse: “Go and invite everyone to the banquet” (Mt 22:9). I am attaching below the text of the Holy Father both in English and Marathi. The Marathi translation has been done by Fr Vijay Gonsalves SJ (Parish Priest, Holy Cross Church, Nashik). You could include some parts of the enclosed material in your homily.
Thank you for being available to the needs of your parishioners and with every good wish,
Yours in Christ,
+Barthol Barretto
Bishop, Diocese of Nashik
