Radhanpur Parish Priest Fr. Michael reaches out to the marginalized

Fr. Antony Michael Raj, the Parish Priest of Radhanpur reached out to twenty poor families during COVID-19 with essential ration. He helped them with rice, dal, oil, spices, sugar and tea. After obtaining permission from the Mamaldar (Thehsildar, Block Officer) for his mobility he went to the periphery of the society in the villages of Sinad, Jawaharnagar, Kunthsari, Sardarpura, Tumdi and Porana. He is planning to reach out to 600 families of Migrants, Vegetable Vendors and daily wagers. May God bless his brave act of mercy in this vicinity.   (Fr. Xavier James)

Catholic means Universal

The Catholic community in Gandhinagar has really understood what is the meaning of being a Catholic, a universal person. This means that Catholic is for all people of all walks of life. Wherever there is a suffering humanity, there is the feeling of he is my brother and she is my sister and there is a natural urge to be of some help to such people. Having understood this, not only institutions but even individuals have helped the suffering human beings such as migrant workers, poor daily wagers with daily food during Corona Virus crisis. We would like to state some persons Mr. Chandravadan Mecwan who helps many people for their daily survival. Mr. Hasmukh Macwan who caters to the poor and police men and women with tea, coffee, biscuits, kitchadi. Ms. Urvashi Dabhi who goes around distributing cooked food for many needy people and also provides grocery kits for the poor families. We are really proud of our Catholic Community. I have stated only few instances whose knowledge I know but there are unknown Catholic Good Samaritans who really work for the welfare of the suffering humanity during COVID-19 crisis. (Fr. Xavier James, Director, SSSS, Gandhinagar)
