Bishops, Church leaders, and experts from across Asia have converged at the Baan Phu Waan Pastoral Training Center in Sampran, Thailand, for a weeklong seminar on Synodality, running from September 22 to 26, 2025.
On April 6, the Caritas Social and Economic Development Center, the Galle diocese social service arm in Sri Lanka, launched a CHARIS Singapore-funded initiative to empower low-income families.
A Sri Lankan bishop stressed that the faithful must learn how to genuinely reach out to people within and outside the Church instead of treating them as “projects” to be accomplished.
