marriage of 11 girls who
were under utter financial restraints. Our project Kalalaya
Swanthana gives rays of hope to hundreds of deserving poor students
in their higher studies.
To promote the
formation of children based on our faith and tradition, we conduct
Catechism systematically. Friends of Mary and Yuva Jyothi formulate
and co-ordinate our activities for women and youngsters respectively
which proved fruitful in the overall development of our members and
their families. At present we have six prayer groups which are
actively involved in the spiritual growth and formation of the
laity. We are pleased to note that as a mark of our steps forward,
we are forming two more prayer groups including one in Jahra.
Moreover for the
last 10-months, Holy Mass in Syro-Malankara Rite is celebrated every
Thursday, and in fact, it is the major factor that pleases our
hearts the most. During Christmas, Lent and Easter occasions priests
from Kerala are sent for our services, and it is a major recognition
of our presence here.
May the Almighty
lead us in His light to go ahead with our endeavors in virtue for
our church, community and the society at large.
