The new Ambassador of Austria to India, Mrs. Brigitte Öppinger-Walchshofer called upon Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas, SFX, the Secretary General of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, on a courtesy visit along with Christoph Meyenburg, Minister Counsellor.

Traditional Austrian generosity was on display as the Ambassador presented a cheque for over three lakh rupees towards a small project in remote Mandar, of the Ranchi Archdiocese to buy benches and desks for the children in the school.

We pray for the Ambassador that God may grant her good health and many more fruitful years in the service of her country.
