MINISTRIES Mananthavady

Community Based Health Care
Sickness and ill-health being indirectly proportionate to holistic development, it will be unbecoming to overrule importance of health and its implications. It is against this background that the long term and/or terminal illness invite irresistible attention. Persons living with such kind of illness (henceforth the suffering) and their dear ones (henceforth the affected) suffer from physical, psychological, social and economic problems. Even a single degree of diversion from this fact of life and paradox of God’s Love will only stamp anyone inhuman! Greater are the existential orientation and ‘essential’ responsibility of every Christian in this regard. This being the fact, we, the Camillians have an irresistible vocation to humanize, Christianize and Camillianize the society in positively responding to suffering, illness and to the issues in health and healthcare! Upon this matrix have we visualized, planned and are willing to live this ministry.

 

Vision
To display the ever present compassionate love of Christ to the sick through initial formation of the candidates willing to commit themselves to serve the sick even at the risk of their own lives and through ministering the sick and the world of ill-health with the same commitment, whereby inviting many more persons to commit themselves to this noble cause.

 

Mission
To provide initial formation to the candidates from Kerala, to help them discern their vocation to Camillian religious life and to serve the sick in the neighbourhood with a priority for palliative care needs of cancer patients.
