General Guidelines

  • Communio belongs to the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI) and it aims at helping dioceses and religious congregations in their needs. It chiefly supports projects that promote the proclamation of the Word of God either directly or indirectly. In other words, Communio renders assistance to projects of evangelization and pastoral care in our local Churches.
  • What we desire is a collaborative involvement in the life of the Church in India. By means of fraternal sharing and mutual learning we aim to make the Kingdom of God visible in our midst. Above all, Communio takes note of the various difficulties that our local Churches face due to financial constraints and tries its best to minimize them.
  • Communio supports projects that are planned and carried out by the local Churches. The aim of the support is to bring about a lasting improvement in the lives of those who are helped, thereby empowering them to be agents of further change and progress.
  • Hence Communio  contributions coming from dioceses, religious congregations and various benefactors will be disbursed for pastoral and evangelization works of the Latin Church in India carried out through our dioceses, religious congregations and CCBI Commissions.
  • In order to receive assistance from Communio,  there should be a Project Application, which must be submitted to the Communio Secretariat through the Diocesan Bishop (along with the recommendation from the Diocesan Communio Director) or the Chairman of the respective CCBI Commission.
  • The CCBI Office Bearers and the Project Selection Committee will scrutinize the applications and accordingly allot the funds to the Applicants.
  • The Applicants will have to sign an Agreement with the Communio Secretariat for the implementation of the project.
