Asia’s Catholic bishops will be embarking on a “new journey” as they launched this week the 50th anniversary of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC).
“We will start a monumental task of reaffirming, renewing, and revitalizing the Church in Asia,” said Cardinal Oswald Gracias of Bombay, convenor of this year’s celebrations, at the opening ceremonies in Thailand on Monday, August 22.
“We will gather to commemorate, celebrate and chart the direction that we, as Church in Asia, will take on our journey together in the next decades,” said the prelate.
