“We
are committed by our vocation to extend the reign of Christ in
people's hearts”
(Fr.
Moreau, Exercises, 1855.)
"Rooted in Christ and
drawing inspiration from our Founder, our mission is to build, in
collaboration with other religious and the laity, communities of
true worship and witness." (Provincial Chapter , 2003)
After naming several possible ministries, the
chapter pinpointed for us that Pastoral Ministry will be our
priority. This was a ministry which was very close to the heart of our
founder, something he kept up until the very end of his life.
Though we are just seven years young in the South
in beginning to serve in this area, we have already seventeen men
ministering through parishes. Many of the parishes entrusted to us
needed infrastructure and we are happy to have constructed several
brand new church buildings and Parish Halls. Most of our parishes
have Holy Cross Family Ministry programs conducted regularly. Many
of our pastors have introduced several innovative ideas for Faith
Formation, youth involvement and other means of bringing back
Catholics who left the Church for more exciting other-denominational
services. If there is one area that needs the most attention and
that all of them are convinced of is family visitation.
We would still need much assistance and support for completing
church buildings in Pune and Mumbai.
