Kohima: A large number of faithfuls from across the state of Nagaland celebrated the 39 years of existence of the Catholic Association of Nagaland (CAN).
CAN is the apex lay organization of the Catholic Church.
The three-day convention was observed late last week.
The event was held at St. Josephs (Autonomous) college Jakhama.
Speaking at the occasion, CAN president Johnny Ruangmei told East Mojo that as the apex body of the Catholic Church completes 39 years, the faithful should be able to identify challenges that the church face and bring about a strategic response.
He pointed out that the states Catholics need to awaken to be able to read the signs of time, particularly in identifying new realities of evangelization.
