KARACHI: The diamond jubilee celebration of the Catholics Arch­diocese of Karachi was held at the St Patrick’s Cathedral under the leadership of Archbishop Benny Mario Travas here on Sunday.

In the past, the Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi was a part of the Archdiocese of Bombay. But with the creation of Pakistan in 1947, Karachi was separated from the Archdiocese of Bombay and made a separate unit in 1948.

For the grand diamond jubilee celebration, a special logo was designed. It includes the provincial culture of Karachi.

The jubilee mass was presided by Msgr. Ger­mano Penemote, representative of the Vatican, apostolic nuncio along with all th­e Catholic bishops of Pakistan.
