Our commitment to Evangelism

Our vision

Parish work encompasses a wide array of responsibilities aimed at nurturing the spiritual life of the community and supporting individuals and families in their faith journey. This includes teaching catechism with creativity every Sunday, ensuring that the message is engaging and accessible to all ages. Additionally, conducting marriage preparation classes offers couples guidance and support as they embark on this sacred commitment. Taking charge of the choir contributes to the vibrant worship experience within the parish while distributing Communion both within the Church and to the sick and elderly at home ensures that all members of the community feel connected and cared for. Active involvement in the pastoral works of Shrines extends the parish’s outreach beyond its immediate boundaries, fostering spiritual connections with neighboring communities. Preparing and conducting liturgical services ensures that the community’s worship is reverent and meaningful while animating pious associations strengthens the spiritual bonds among members. Attendance at parish council meetings facilitates collaboration and decision-making for the benefit of the entire community. Conducting Vacation Bible School (VBS) classes during summer vacation provides children with an enriching and fun-filled opportunity to deepen their understanding of the faith. Taking part in significant family occasions such as Baptisms, funeral masses, thanksgiving masses, and festive celebrations demonstrates solidarity and support during important milestones in parishioners’ lives. Finally, giving faith formation to children in various settings, including boarding facilities, neighboring villages, the parish, and schools, underscores the commitment to nurturing the next generation of believers. This is achieved through catechism teaching, bible classes, competitions, and preparing them to receive the Sacraments, ensuring a solid foundation for their spiritual growth.

Our sisters play a vital role in supporting the Anbiams (Small Christian Communities/Basic Christian Communities) within the parish, assisting them in maintaining regular prayer practices and addressing local issues. They prioritize the welfare of the substations, ensuring that these smaller communities receive the attention and encouragement they need to thrive. Regular meetings are held with the people in the substations to provide support and motivation. Furthermore, whenever the Church announces special years or initiatives, our sisters take a keen interest in celebrating and embodying the values associated with those occasions. They work diligently to ensure that these special years are lived out meaningfully within the parish community, fostering a deeper connection to the Church’s broader mission and vision.

01. Evangelization through education ministry

In all our educational institutions, we engage in evangelization efforts directed toward the staff, students, and parents as integral aspects of our life and ministry. To instill within them a deepened faith in God and life, we undertake various initiatives. These include offering catechism classes tailored for Catholic students and moral science classes designed for students from diverse religious backgrounds. Additionally, we organize separate two-day retreats, one for students and another for staff, providing opportunities for spiritual reflection and renewal. Furthermore, seminars on life and values are conducted for all students, aiming to impart essential principles for ethical living. We prepare Catholic students to actively participate in Bible quizzes and other competitions held at school, diocesan, or state levels, fostering a deeper engagement with Scripture and religious knowledge. Religious vocation days are arranged to encourage the exploration of religious callings among students. Moreover, students are actively involved in charitable activities, cultivating a spirit of compassion and service. The celebration of events such as the Patroness Feast, Christmas, and Foundress Day serves as occasions to deepen students' understanding of the significance and values embodied in these celebrations. Through these concerted efforts, we strive to nurture a community where faith is enriched, values are embraced, and individuals are empowered to live out their beliefs in meaningful ways.
