Fiery Learning from the Pastoral Frontline

By Darline Joseph Marianathan

In March 2020, as the Covid 19 pandemic was taking hold, Catholic priest Darline Joseph Marianathan travelled from India to Britain and back to his parish. His mother wasn't happy about it but he promised to return, a promise that took more than a year to fulfil. Back in Okehampton and Chagford, he took his church online to broadcast to a congregation, and to connect one-to-one, both locally and globally.

Darline Joseph Marianathan physically and mentally survived five isolations and catching the virus, going on to hold Zoom masses and to spread Pope Francis' idea of the 'creativity of love' through preaching and writing articles for the media. And that was just the beginning.

This book explores many examples of how Darline Joseph Marianathan, his colleagues and his parishioners, managed to cope themselves, and to help others to survive the challenges of the COVID 19 pandemic.
