VATICAN CITY: Indian Cardinal Telesphore Toppo celebrated his silver jubilee as Ranchi archbishop with other tribal people in Rome on Nov. 21. The Jesuit curia adjacent to the St Peter’s Square hosted the All India Tribal  Association meet to felicitate the cardinal who was in Rome for the consistory, as sole representative of the Indian Church. “Whatever God does, he does it for our good, and he does it well,” he said to 25 priests and 35 nuns during a Mass in Hindi language. He also  urged them to be always thankful to God. Cardinal Toppo, 71, was ordained a priest  in 1969, became Ranchi archbishop in 1985 and a cardinal in 2003. He is also a member of the Cardinals’ Commission for the Vigilance of the Vatican bank, the Pontifical Commission for Culture and the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. ZY12079.1629

Help UCA News to be independent
Dear reader,
November begins with the Feast of All Saints. That month will mark the beginning of a new UCA News series, Saints of the New Millenium, that will profile some of Asia’s saints, “ordinary” people who try to live faithfully amid the demands of life in our time.
Perhaps the closest they will ever come to fame will be in your reading about them in UCA News. But they are saints for today. Let their example challenge and encourage you to live your own sainthood.
Your contribution will help us present more such features and make a difference in society by being independent and objective.
A small donation of US$5 a month would make a big difference in our quest to achieve our goals.
