Seminar on Pope's New Encyclical Magnifica Humanitas:

On Saturday, 11 July 2026, we were blessed to participate in a meaningful seminar on the Holy Father's new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. The seminar was led by Rev. Dr. Joseph Santhosh, who conducted an inspiring session from 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon. Rev. Dr. Joseph presented the central message of the encyclical in a simple and practical manner. He explained that every human person possesses an inalienable dignity because each one is created in the image and likeness of God. The encyclical calls us to become witnesses of compassion, justice, fraternity, and hope, encouraging us to build a society in which the poor, the marginalized, and the vulnerable are respected and loved. It also reminds us that authentic Christian discipleship is expressed not only through prayer but also through our service to humanity. The seminar concluded with an interactive question-and-answer session, giving participants an opportunity to clarify their doubts and deepen their understanding of the encyclical. The discussions were lively and enriching, making the programme both fruitful and spiritually  4 rewarding. I sincerely thank Rev. Dr. Joseph Santhosh for his enlightening presentation and for helping us appreciate the relevance of the Holy Father's teaching in our personal lives and pastoral ministry. I am equally grateful to all the Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers who participated wholeheartedly. Your presence, active involvement, and cooperation contributed greatly to the success of the seminar. May the teachings of Magnifica Humanitas inspire us to uphold the dignity of every human person and to serve others with greater love, humility, and commitment.
