November 7 - Our Lady of Fatima shrine in India serves disadvantaged tribes

Article: Roman Catholic Church And The Last Days

A parish and shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima in the Archdiocese of Bombay draws thousands of pilgrims regularly, and serves the scheduled tribes who live in Raigad district of India, outside of Mumbai.

“The Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima – Karjat stands as a beacon of unity and peace, where springs a spiritual oasis through Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, novenas, and the rosary,” Fr. Calistus Fernandes, rector of the shrine, told CNA Nov. 5.

The shrine is located in the city of Karjat, located nearly 40 miles southeast of Mumbai in Maharashtra state. It's district is home to several scheduled tribes – historically disadvantage peoples in India, like the scheduled castes, or dalits – including the Katkari, Mahadev, Koli, and Thakur.  It now largely serves the Katkari, a vulnerable, nomadic tribal group. The parish has 45 indigenous families, and has social development programs and capacity building, focused on education in partnership with religious congregations in the area.  Fr. Fernandes underlined that indigenization and inculturation of liturgy, and the message of Fatima communicated in vernacular languages, has “fostered participation and faith building.”
