Goa Churches Embrace Migrants with Hindi Masses
23 Nov
Summary
- Churches in Goa now offer Mass and catechism in Hindi.
- This initiative provides spiritual support for thousands of migrants.
- The archdiocese has been supportive of the growing need for Hindi services.
As Goa's demographics evolve, its churches are actively embracing migrant populations by offering services and religious education in Hindi. This thoughtful adaptation ensures that thousands of migrants can engage with faith in a language they understand, fostering a deeper spiritual connection.
The introduction of Hindi Masses and catechism classes addresses a significant need identified by clergy and parishioners alike. This pastoral mission, supported by the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman, has become a vital lifeline for many who previously felt excluded from liturgical practices conducted in Konkani or English.
This inclusive approach reflects a global Church focus on migrants and reinforces Goa's reputation as a cultural mosaic, ensuring that faith can be experienced and understood in a multitude of tongues, bringing a sense of home to those far from their origins.
