History

The Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI), established in 1988, after the launch of the National Pastoral Plan in 2013, conceived the idea at different stages, and ‘Communio’ saw its light in 2017, at the XXIX Plenary Assembly held in Bhopal.

The celebration of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy (8 Dec 2015 to 20 Nov 2016) announced by our Holy Father Pope Francis, and the canonisation Mother Teresa of Kolkata, a model of mercy and compassion, propelled the launch.

This historical decision to begin ‘Communio’ to help poor dioceses and religious congregations working in the missions was taken when the Executive Committee members of the CCBI gathered at St. John’s National Academy of Health Sciences, Bangalore, on 20 September 2016.

The first Communio Sunday was observed at the national level on 2 December 2018, the First Sunday of Advent. ‘Communio’was registered as a legal entity in 2021.
