The missionary presence in India is marked by variety, simplicity and generosity to respond to the pressing needs of the time in its multireligious, multicultural and multilin-gual context, trying to make a difference to the people through service in the parish, education and care for the sick poor embodying God’s love and spreading His word in love of neighbour in the style of Marie Poussepin.
