The Christian Voice, Karachi is an English-language weekly newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, Pakistan. [1]
It was founded in 1950 by Fr. D'Arcy D'Souza. This is the second oldest Catholic publication in Pakistan after the Catholic Naqib, an Urdu-language journal, founded in Lahore in 1929 and published by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lahore. [2] The Christian Voice is printed at the Rotti Press in Karachi. [3]
In 1959 under the editorship of Fr. Francis Kotwani OFM, The Christian Voice became a weekly. [4]
In 1970, Fr. Terence D'Souza was appointed editor of The Christian Voice.
In 1993 the editor was Fr. Augustine Varkey, who was also vice-principal of Saint Patrick's High School, Karachi. [5]
In 2005, the editor was Robin Fernandez, founder of a Karachi-based human rights group Conscience, secretary for the press watchdog group Journalists for Human Rights and Democracy and on the editorial staff of Dawn, Pakistan's premier English-language newspaper. [6]
Choosing to remain low-tech and not have a website, The Christian Voice plays a valuable role in disseminating information among the Christian population of Pakistan including the lives and deaths of prominent people and major events around the world. [7]
In 2006, the archdiocese launched a new weekly Urdu-language paper, Agahi, which is in the style and format of The Christian Voice. [8]
The Christian Voice has a modest overseas subscription. [9]
In 2018 the editor is Mr. Denzil D'Souza. [4]
