Sisters offer Christ’s compassion in COVID crisis

“This unprecedented crisis has highlighted how India remains badly placed to tackle the rapid spread of [a new] wave of coronavirus.” – Bishop Aplinar Senapati of Rayagada

With a new wave of COVID-19 hitting India and deaths surging past 485,000, the Church has not only been tackling the pandemic and caring for those overlooked by society, but also supporting refugees fleeing from neighbouring Burma (Myanmar) – where the military junta has once more tightened its grip on power

“We are helpless in the face of the situation. There is a shortage of vaccinations, oxygen, hospital beds and medication generally. It is not even possible to conduct funerals properly.” – Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross
