Wednesday, April 6 / "Keeping the Fire of Faith Alive - The Church in Nepal"
Bishop Anthony Sharma, SJ, delivered a presentation on the relatively small Church in Nepal - just a little more than 7,000 Catholics - that was at once inspiring and joyous, riveting and energizing, moving and thought-provoking.
The video below is taken from the LiveStream broadcast of that Wednesday morning, April 6, talk.
