Bareilly Diocese hosted Hindi Bible Quiz and writing competition on November 19, 2017, gathering some 200 Catholics from 18 Hindi speaking dioceses for the third annual finale of Bible Logos Quiz and Bible Writing. The main aim of the competition was to create awareness about Bible in the faithful and the participants in the competition included ten-year-old children to grandparents who won a series of Bible-based competitions in their respective dioceses on pre-assigned Bible portions according to their age brackets.
