The latest in the series of actions of empowering the laity, Bishop Gerald Lobo of Udupi diocese has appointed Sr Pramitha Cutinha of the Ursuline Franciscan Congregation as his Secretary. She was administered oath of office and secrecy at a simple ceremony held in the chapel of Bishop’s House, Udupi on 9 June 2014.
It is customary that Bishops appoint priests as Secretaries. But Bishop Gerald, as usual, has chosen to walk the untrodden path and appointed a Sister as Secretary. In the hierarchy of Catholic Church, Religious Sisters fall under the category of Lay persons. Sr Pramitha hails from Bola in the vicinity of Panir (Derlakatte) parish.
