Diocese of Punalur

Social Ministry

Coordinator – Rev. Fr. Vineeth Benedict

The Latin Catholics of Kerala are at the same time a church and a community. Whereas half of the commissions attend to the spiritual needs of the members of the church, the social ministry is concerned mainly with the socio-economic development of the people. The mission of the commissions in the social ministry is the establishment of a just and peaceful society where the dignity of each individual is respected and equal opportunities are availed for every member of the society.
