Claretian Mission's attempts to serve the Word of God through its Publishing ministry has reached another milestone as the Claretian Publications, Bangalore, India has come out with the Kannada and Konkani versions of the "Bible Diary 2010". Fr. Benny, Director of Claretian Publications, Bangalore brings us the details of the event:
Bangalore, Dec 31: After 21 years of uninterrupted publication of the Bible Diary in English, Claretian Publications, India have come out with the Kannada and Konkani versions of the Bible Diary. We felt the need to serve and to reach out to the people of Karnataka and so have initiated the publication of the Bible Diary in Kannada and Konkani which is the fruit of over three months of hard work of priests of Karnataka who have contributed to its pages.
Fr. Benny, Archbishop Bernard Moras, Fr. Prem & Fr. Francis
Rev. Dr. Bernard Moras, Archbishop of Bangalore, who released the Kannada and Konkani versions at the Archbishops House on 31st December handed over the copies to Fr C Francis (Bangalore Archdiocesan Finance officer), and Fr. Prem, (Secretary to the Archbishop). Releasing the two versions of the Dairy the Archbishop said, “This is a great contribution to the people of Karnataka and will surely be a great support to priests and to laity in the ministry of the Word. The hard work of priests involved in the production of these diaries will not go unrewarded. The Word of God, as always, is alive and active sharper than a double edged word. I hope and pray these diaries will help people grow in the Word of God. I congratulate the Claretian Publications in launching two versions simultaneously”.
Currently Claretians in India are involved in Publishing the "Bible Diary" in English, Kannada, Konkani, Tamil and Hindi and are marketed all across the world.
