Your Eminence/Grace/Excellency,

In the process of Re-structuring the CBCI Offices and Re-organising the CBCI Centre, the Offices for Laity, Women and Youth assume a new structure and a new face. The routine activities and the formation aspect of these three Offices will be taken care of by the Ritual Churches, whereas, those matters of national character and supra-ritual nature will be taken care of by the CBCI Councils, each headed by a Chairman-Bishop and other two Member-Bishops, each belonging to the sui juris Churches.   

These proposals were discussed in the CBCI Plenary and approved by the subsequent Standing Committee. Thus: 

 

Chairman        :     Most Rev. Mathew Mar Arackal

Members         :     1. Most Rev. Joshua Mar Ignathios

                           2. Most Rev. Gerald John Mathias

Chairman        :     Most Rev. Barnabas Mar Jacob

Members         :     1. Most Rev. Mathew Mar Arackal

                            2. Most Rev. Edwin Colaco

 

 

Chairman        :     Most Rev. Henry D’Souza

Members         :     1. Most Rev. Vincent Mar Paulos

                            2. Most Rev. Pandarassery Mar Joseph 

The new Councils come into existence with immediate effect.

 

With kind regards and good wishes, 

Yours Sincerely,

V Albert D’Souza,
