MOTHER OF PERPETUAL SUCCOUR
REPRESENTATIVE : MICHELLE VAZ
The Mother of Pepetual Succour community was started way back in 1986 by our very own Bishop Bosco Penha.
We had a good number of animators then and even today.
OBJECTIVES
-
Monthly visits to each and every family in our community.
-
To work together for the good of all families.
-
To strengthen our bonds through prayer and service.
-
To help the sick and home-bound on a daily basis and especially in times of need.
-
To reach out to those who are lonely and helpless.
-
To help procure jobs for the unemployed.
-
To build bridges and live in peace and harmony with people of all Faiths in our Colony and neighborhood.
ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED
-
Members of the Community recite the Rosary daily during the month of May at the Khan Saheb Wadi Cross.
-
Stations of the Cross are being conducted at all the Crosses and with the sick and the home bound in the Community which is attended by many members during Lent.
-
Ensuring that our members live in peace and harmony with our Muslim and Hindu neighbours and people of all Faiths.
Besides the community we also bring joy to the less fortunate ones, like children at St. Catherine’s home, we organise games, dance and have a lot of fun with them. Besides that we also visited Clergy Home, we spent time with them. Members of our community generously gave food items and even contributed financially for the upkeep of our dear senior priests. It is said to get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it!!!!
We take part in the activities organised by the Parish, be it a prayer service a fun day or just coming together.
PLANNING AHEAD
-
Broad base the core committee by inducting new members, especially Youth.
-
Continue to encourage families to contribute to the Community Fund.
Identify a) poor families in the community b) the homebound and lonely and try to help them to get the required assistance. -
Collaborating with the Civic and Political Cell to encourage people to form the ALM in our area so that we can liaise with the Civic Authorities.
-
Inculcating in the Youth and children the values of living in peace and harmony with people of all Faiths. Our motto is “Catch them Young!”
-
Encourage the families to share the Word of God and pray together as a Community.
