In the remote foothills of India's Patkai-Bum mountains, a Catholic parish joined Christians of various denominations to share the joy of Christmas and forge friendships to serve a common vision of harmony and peace.
"Christmas is an event of joy and unity and we must strive to live it," Father Felix Anthony, head of communications for Diocese of Miao, told CNA Jan 10.
"The aim of this fellowship is to foster stronger bonds of friendship and find common grounds of working for harmony, peace and development in the society," he said.
Fr. Anthony welcomed the guests Dec. 26 at Sacred Heart parish in Neotan village of Changlang district. He stressed the need for unity, mutual respect and dialogue to share the vision of building peace and harmony.
