About CASK

 

The Catholic Association of South Kanara was established in July 1914 and registered under the Societies Act in 1925, thus it is celebrating its centenary this year.

 

CASK publishes a monthly magazine titled “Mangalore” since July 1927, one of the oldest monthly magazines in the country, with the credit of uninterrupted publication for 87 years.

 

The credit for establishing CASK in 1914 goes to the then Bishop Paul Perini, who is said to have encouraged the clergy and the laity to start an association to promote religious, economic and social welfare of the people and he later on went to become the first president of the association.
