The Christian Voice, Karachi is an English-language weekly newspaper of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, Pakistan.^[1]

History

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]
