NBCLC Marks Diamond Jubilee with Inauguration of Museum

The National Biblical Catechetical and Liturgical Centre (NBCLC) in Bengaluru is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years of its service to the Catholic Church in India. As part of the celebrations, a museum was inaugurated at the NBCLC, providing an opportunity to preserve and present the history and development of the institution. The museum is intended to showcase the centre’s journey and its contribution to the Church’s biblical, catechetical and liturgical mission. NBCLC has played an important role in providing formation and resources related to Sacred Scripture, catechesis and liturgy. Over the years, the centre has served clergy, religious communities, catechists and lay faithful through various programmes, courses, workshops and formation initiatives. The Diamond Jubilee celebration therefore provides an opportunity to remember the people and institutions that contributed to NBCLC’s development and to reflect on its continuing mission in the Church. The newly inaugurated museum preserves aspects of the centre’s history and serves as a reminder of its six decades of service. It also provides visitors with an opportunity to learn about NBCLC’s contribution to Catholic formation and ministry in India. The celebration marks an important milestone for the institution while also looking toward its continued role in supporting the biblical, catechetical and liturgical life of the Catholic Church. The CBCI lists the event as a September 17, 2026 news item and identifies it as one of its current news highlights.
