Socio-Pastoral Apostolate
We have a rather well organized Socio-pastoral ministry, which functions under the guidance of a team of Socially trained sisters and have 9 centers where a sister animator trains and works along with local social and health workers, most of whom are women. Through study sessions, awareness seminars, saving schemes etc. the lower strata of the society are given great importance. They conduct surveys; ascertain drinking water facilities, schools, and health centers.
Sisters are involved in all parish – pastoral activities such as animating pious associations, youth, altar boys, Little Way, mothers, teaching Catechism, participating in BCC and jail ministry.
