Sharing the joy of Christmas & World Migrant Day at SSSS

 Sharing Christmas Joy with our needy Catholic families in the Archdiocese

Keeping in mind the aftermath of Corona situation, SSSS, Archdiocese of Gandhinagar asked all the Parish Priests of the Archdiocese to get the names of the needy Catholic families in their respective parishes in order to share food provisions with them, so that they could celebrate Christmas in a meaningful manner. Answering to the request many parish priests surveyed the parish and sent the list to SSSS. SSSS Director and Staff went with food provisions and distributed to needy Catholic families.
