Dear Tamil faithful
in Bergen,
It is a great privilege for me to
congratulate you all on the first
anniversary of your homepage www.bergentamilkat.com/.
For many years now the Church has
become conscious of the fantastic
instrument the internet is, and
the nearly limitless possibilities
it offers for our work, both as
a tool of evangelisation, and as
a focal point for our activities
and source of information on the
faith.
I am delighted that your group,
which seeks to unite and strengthen
in faith the Catholics of Tamil
origin in Bergen and beyond has
made use of the internet and designed
such a spectacular webpage.
Please be assured of my continued
prayers for your group and the further
developments of your homepage.
Yours sincerely in Christ,
Bernt I. Eidsvig Can.Reg.
Bishop of Oslo

Dear
friends!
Let me extend my warmest greetings
and congratulations to the Tamil
Catholics in Bergen on the occasion
of your first anniversary of your
new website. The media plays a key
role in the society. The present
generation is very keen to get more
information within a short period
of time. We are living in a world
where the technology and science
have made a great progress and advanced
surprisingly. The mother church
uses the modern communication media
to communicate and reach its people
in all corners of the world. So
a parish is not an exception either.
We are bound to live in the present
time using the modern facilities.
While expressing my warmest wishes
to the Tamil Catholics in Bergen
for their great achievement in website,
I congratulate and thank all those
who were greatly involved to fulfil
this great task to the surprise
of many. It has demanded dedication,
self-sacrifice and not the least
the precious time of each one who
was involved to achieve this goal.
At the same time let me thank the
person who has inspired to commence
website of its own for the Tamil
Catholics in Bergen. I am sure the
website feeds lot of information
to the Catholic community in Bergen
and it is used to the maximum by
Catholics, so that the website will
be a great means to help all the
faithful to remain in deep faith
to the Lord and be deeply rooted
in our belief.
My prayer and wish are that the
Good Lord who has guided you all
in the past, may continue to guide
you in the future with the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit.
Yours fraternally in Christ,
Fr.p.iru.

Dear Fr.Jagath and
all beloved Tamil Catholics of Bergen!
I am very proud of your wonderful
achievement in organizing the website
for one year and successfully stepping
into the second year. I had been
visiting the site time and again
and really amazed with the amount
of your work and commitment in making
it creative, informative and communicative
in all its dimension. I congratulate
all those who are behind this commendable
work. Paasathukkuria Bergan katholika
ullangal anaivarukkum paaraattukkal....
Vaalthukkal..... Irai aasir!
Endrum anbudan,
Fr.Joseph Jayakumar, India.

Dear

Gratulerer med ett
årsjubileum
Det er mange katolikker i denne
menigheten og også i resten
av verden som må motta sakramentene
og nære sitt trosliv på
et annet språk enn sitt morsmål.
I mange tilfeller kan det være
berikende og godt å få
ta del i en annen kulturs trosutøvelse.
Samtidig vet vi at katolske innvandrere
som mister kontakten med sitt språk
og kultur ofte mister sin tro i
tillegg. Derfor er det til Guds
ære og i Kirkens tjeneste
at man i Norge legger vekt på
at de forskjellige gruppene med
innvandrere skal få utøve
sin tro på sitt eget morsmål.
I denne sammenhengen er bergentamilkat.com
et utmerket bidrag - og jeg vil
tro, ikke bare for Bergenske tamiler.
Her oppdateres gruppen om feiringer
og andre begivenheter, og ikke minst
er nettstedet en kilde til inspirasjon
og informasjon ved at prekener og
viktige kirkelige dokumenter gjøres
tilgjengelige på tamil. Jeg
vil derfor gratulere tamilene på
det varmeste med dette gode tilbudet
og oppfordre så mange som
mulig til å dra den fulle
nytten av det! Bak dette nettstedet
ligger det mye kjærlighet,
omtanke og arbeid, og jeg ber om
at det vil gi gode frukter!
Som redaktør av St Paul menighetsblad
vil jeg også oppfordre dere
til å huske på muligheten
til å informere og inspirere
hele St Paul menighet. Menighetsbladet
ønsker å være
et slikt forum for alle gruppene
og tror at vi kan inspirere hverandre.
Send gjerne bidrag til stpaulblad@katolsk.no
om dere har noe på hjertet.
Vi vil være behjelpelig hvis
noen skulle trenge språklig
assistanse.
Med hilsen og gratulasjoner til
jubileet fra Anne Samuelsen
