On July 13, 2024, Bishop Barthol Barretto visited Holy Cross Church, Nashik. He visited Kripa Prasad Convent and met the Sisters of the Daughters of the Cross, and then proceeded to meet five families, the poorest of the poor. It was the first time a bishop had visited these families and they were overjoyed and felt blessed by his presence.
At Maharashtra Prabodhan Seva Mandal, Bp Barthol met the Jesuits. In the evening, he met the Youth and Parish Council members, listened to them, asked them questions, and spoke of the importance of catechism and Youth animation. It was indeed a day full of grace.
