Social Apostolates

“Love ought to manifest itself more by deeds than by words”
St.Ignatius

“The preferential option for the poor and vulnerable is not optional. A basic moral test for society is measuring how we treat the most vulnerable in our midst. In a society with a growing gap between rich and poor, Scripture gives us the story of the last judgement or, and ds the (Mt.25:31-46) and reminds us that we will be judged by our response to the least among us”-Pope Francis
The spirit filled vision of the founder Venerabe Fr. Varghese fulfilling day by day through inspiration of the same spirit moving challengingly through signs of the time. As Pope Francis says we, as the Sisters of the Destitute ought to be in the outskirt of the society only where we could see Jesus the Destitute. Social Apostolate is a journey of SD to the Periphery. Our Ministry of social apostolate has two major components such as Institutional Care and Community Based Programme.

Vision of Social Apostolate: Urged by the compassionate love of Christ and conformed to Jesus Christ, giving life to all, especially to the destitute, thereby establishing the Kingdom of God on earth.

Mission of Social Apostolate: Experiencing God in the service of human beings empowering them to live with the dignity of the children of God.
