Archdiocese of Karachi has achieved yet another milestone by launching online edition of Agahi - the Archdiocesan Urdu Weekly, here on Holy Thursday in a simple but impressive ceremony, says a press release.
The event took place after the Chrism Mass in which all the clergymen and a large number of nuns and faithful took part. Archbishop Evarist Pinto inaugurated and browsed the site (www.agahinews.com). The online edition will offers the entire issue of the tabloid size weekly. It will be posted on the Internet on each Monday. Online readers will have access to back issues and all news, features and reviews arc searchable, the release said.
Agahi became the first Christian Urdu weekly of the country over a year ago. It was launched on the feast of Christ the King, November 26, 2006. It consists of eight pages with two to four pages of announcements and advertisements. It is the only authentic source in the country, which gives Church related news from the Archdiocese, the country and from all over the world in Urdu.
The editorial and advisory boards of the publication are men and women of the community. They include Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. The weekly has a privileged place in the country and is becoming a source of information and inspiration.
The publication is the brainchild of Father Arthur Charles, a professor of dogmatic theology, director of the Karachi Catechetical Centre and vicar general of the archdiocese. Archbishop Evarist Pinto named him Editor-in-Chief of the weekly.-PR
