III. Meetings
There were also Meetings outside the usual Pastoral Propramme within the Archdiocese, Zonal and National levels, Institutions like Universities . I thank every one of you for your participation and contributions in cash and in kind for making the above mentioned events like Ordinations, Innauguration of New Parishes and Confirmation in parishes a success.
IV. Pastoral Visits:
Parish Visit has been mostly for Confirmation and for one day – a day has not been enough to meet all that is required in the Parish. We plan to have three days. Not every year and not only at the Parish but also at the centres.
V. Archdiocese Strategic Plan 2016-2022
