“I will work to strengthen everyone’s faith,” said Mgr Felix Toppo, whom His Holiness Pope Francis appointed yesterday as the new Archbishop of Ranchi, Jharkhand, replacing Mgr Telesphore P. Toppo, who resigned after 34 years at the head of the archdiocese. For Mgr Toppo, “it’s still early to say what I’ll actually do. It will depend on the needs of the population. Of course, I want to boost the right practice of faith, support children education, work with young people without neglecting adults. We will continue the spiritual preparation and the catechesis “.
As reported by Asianews.it, “In Jharkhand the faith of Catholics and Christians in general is very strong,” Mgr Toppo said about the pastoral work that awaits him. “I will work for the spiritual care of the population, to improve their living conditions and, as much as possible, strengthen faith even more.”
Mgr Toppo completed his education with a Master’s Degree in psychology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and has worked with many Jesuit bodies, in the education of novices.
