About 500 people from all 15 Myanmar dioceses have attended the 2nd National Biblical Apostolate workshop. Bishop John Hsane Hgyi, president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Myanmar, Bishop Basilio Athai, chairman of the Episcopal Commission for Biblical Apostolate, two archbishops and four bishops also took part in the event. The March 1-6 was organized by the Episcopal Commission for Biblical Apostolate at the Our Lady of Holy Rosary Shrine in Chanthargone, Mandalay archdiocese. Participants listened to experiences on faith life, sang hymns and took part in Bible quizzes relating to the “Word of God.” Many said the event has strengthened their faith and prayer life. The Episcopal Commission for Biblical Apostolate in Myanmar has since its launch in 2007 been organizing several programs emphasizing the importance of the Bible. MY13524.1643

Dear reader,
Lent is the season during which catechumens make their final preparations to be welcomed into the Church.
Each year during Lent, UCA News presents the stories of people who will join the Church in proclaiming that Jesus Christ is their Lord. The stories of how women and men who will be baptized came to believe in Christ are inspirations for all of us as we prepare to celebrate the Church's chief feast.
Help us with your donations to bring such stories of faith that make a difference in the Church and society.
A small contribution of US$5 will support us continue our mission…
