Most Reverend Bishop Vadakumthala is appealing to the world to help his Diocese following the August floods in India that has destroyed the lives of the poorest of the poor Catholics in India.

NEWS: KOCHI, India: The death toll from devastating floods in the southern Indian state of Kerala rose to 445 Sunday (Aug 26) with the discovery of 28 more bodies as the waters recede and a massive cleanup gathers pace, government officials said.

Around a million people are still packed into temporary relief camps and 15 are reported missing even as the government mounts an operation to clean homes and public places that have been filled with dirt and sand left by the floods.
