In a simple but meaningful prayer service which took place in the Udupi Bishop’s Chapel, Most Rev. Dr Gerald Isaac Lobo administered the oath to two lay leaders, as they took charge of two of the 18 Commissions of the Diocese. Mr Elroy Kiran Crasto, who was the President of Catholic Sabha (Udupi Pradesh) took charge as the Director of Labour Commission and Mr Leslie Aroza who was serving as the Asst. Director of the Family Commission took charge as the full time director of the same. With this the number of lay leaders heading the diocesan commissions goes up to four. The other two commissions led by laity are, the Women Commission and Justice & Peace. Indeed it’s a matter of joy for the lay faithful of the Diocese of Udupi as they join hands with the diocesan clergy in the implementation of the Pastoral Plan 2025. One can confidently say that the laity of udupi Diocese have come of age!
The Bishop invoked God’s choicest blessing on the new directors and wished them well in their ministry.
