EVANGELIZATION: PRAYER GROUP:
President : Rev.Sr. Arockia Leeli Co-ordinator : Rev.Sr. Josephine Latha
Co-ordinator : Rev.Sr. Agnes Secretary : Rev.Sr. Assumptha
Secretary : Rev.Sr. Maria Jessie
Evangelization consists in the proclamation of Christ our Lord to those who do not know him through preaching, catechetics, and the administration of the sacraments. It means preaching the good news through the family visit and witnessing to Christ by life and work. Evangelization work is not only an essential feature of the Congregation, it is also the primary form of our apostolate. The sisters must deem that it is a privilege to be assigned to the work of evangelization. Every member must become a true missionary by prayer, sacrifice, and hard work to make Christ known and loved. By their missionary work, the sisters must aim at the formation of adult and committed Christians who know their faith, love their faith, and live their faith.
