Catholics in Sri Lanka on Aug. 3 commemorate the death anniversary of Sister Mary Agneta, an Apostolic Carmelite nun who died after being shot during the ethnic violence of Black July 1983 while protecting vulnerable members of her community.
A significant milestone in Catholic media outreach was marked with the official signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to launch Radio Maria Sri Lanka in the Archdiocese of Colombo.
