The Church in India
Great satisfaction is felt in India over the appointment of Mgr. Francis Vazapilly to the office of Vicar-Apostolic of Trichur. This event is especially significant in that it occurred soon after the visit of the Apostolic Delegate, during which he expressed the wish of the Holy Father to see mope natives in the Indian Hierarchy. The new prelate is a native of India. He belongs to an ancient Syrian family which has been established at Travancoro for many generations. Another cause of satisfaction is the development of Catholic education in India. Although there are many Catholic schools, there has been great need for a higher institute of learning, and Archbishop Aelen has entrusted to the Jesuit Fathers the task of founding a large college and university in the capital of southern India. The plan has been approved and encouraged by the Sacred College of the Propaganda.
