Background

The Delhi Province took root with the appointment of two of the Society’s members at the Sirsa Catholic Mission Centre in 1960. Their legacy was inherited and carried on by members that followed not only at Sirsa, but steadily in other parts of North India. It was indeed a pilgrimage of faith with the people that called for adapting to their customs, traditions, learning their language, which led to a mutual enrichment of people and messengers. The Delhi Province pledges to carry on the charism and work in that same spirit, of pioneering the Good News of Jesus Christ, and proclaiming the values of his Kingdom. The Province pledges its service to the mission of the Church in the North. Since 1961 the Delhi Pilar Fathers have grown in their outreach and serve people at 13 centres in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir and Rajasthan.
