A message from Most Rev. Nazarene Soosai

My Dear young people in Christ

I am delighted to welcome you to the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India, Youth Commission website. As your chairman, I very well understand that our young people live in a virtual world. They communicate through various mediums.Having our own website is a wonderful platform to communicate our views on various issues related to our lives.

The Episcopal Conference is moving in a right direction and I am very happy with the initiatives taken by the commission to promote youth ministry in India. Today the Commission is reaching out to the fourteen regions and 132 dioceses.

CCBI Youth Commission is the chief organ of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India that inspires and animates the youth apostolate of the Latin Church towards a deeper Christian awareness and commitment through faith formation. It aims to achieve its objective by working in close collaboration with the Regional Youth Commissions, and other various Catholic Youth Movements in India.

The Scope and the key areas of the work of the Commission for Youth (CCBI) will be the promotion and encouragement of Catholic youth in their understanding of the Catholic Faith and Vocation, and their personal commitment to Catholic values. In particular, the Commission focuses on the holistic growth of the Catholic youth and on their ensuing commitment towards the Church and the larger society in India.

I invite you to tour this web site and to prayerfully consider becoming a part of the Commission as a benefactor to one of our many great Catholic causes.

May God continue to bless and keep you.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

+ Most Rev. Nazarene Soosai

Bishop of of the Diocese of Kottar
