Circular 23/2026 - Vianney Sunday

The Parish Priests and Priests in-charge

Diocese of Nashik

My dear collaborators,

A few priests have been telephoning Bishop’s House to check when should one celebrate Vianney Sunday. As is the custom, we celebrate Vianney Sunday on the Sunday following August 04; hence, this year, Vianney Sunday will be celebrated in all the parishes on Sunday, August 09.

Kindly note that all collections made on Sunday, August 09 must be sent to Bishop’s House immediately, but not later than August 30, 2026. This is a practice that is being followed in our Diocese.

Thank you for your selfless services and with every good wish,

Yours in Christ,

✠Barthol Barretto

Bishop, Diocese of Nashik
