Mumbai, India, May 31, 2009 / 16:20 pm
The Daughters of St. Paul in India have launched a project using theater to evangelize in the Indian metropolises of Vasai and Mumbai in the west-central state of Maharashtra.
The sisters wrote a dramatic script in the local dialect, Marathi, for a play titled “Parivartan Shaulacha,” meaning “The Conversion of St. Paul.”
According to Fides, the effort was launched in honor of the close of the Pauline Year on June 29.
Various lay Catholics and qualified artists helped the Daughters of St. Paul organize performances of the play, which will continue in Vasai and later be held in Mumbai.
The lead actor, playing Paul, was reported to have performed “with great intensity.”
