The Archdiocese of Bombay hosted an interfaith prayer service on Thursday to honour Pope Francis and his enduring message of compassion, dialogue, and fraternity. The prayer service, held at the Archbishop House Conference Hall in Colaba, was all about diversity as it brought together religious leaders from all communities, including Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, and Catholic.

Diplomats, along with Maharashtra Governor C P Radhakrishnan, were also present at the prayer service. The meeting reflected the diversity and unity championed by the Holy Father (Pope Francis), said the archdiocese spokesperson.
