Message from Dr. Mathews Mar Severios (Metropolitan, Kandanad)

Dearly beloved in Christ:

The Malankara Orthodox Church is committed by the call of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to serve, to uplift the marginalized, and to attend to the wants of those in distress. As a commitment to this call and to visibly express this message, the Diocese of Kandanad has initiated several charitable projects.

The developmentally and physically challenged men and women, as well as the terminally ill, are given life-long protection and care in our rehabilitation homes- Pratheeksha Bhavan (The House of Hope) and Prasanthi Bhavan (The House of Comfort). They find a haven of rest experiencing Christian love. The orphans are cared for at Prathyasa Bhavan (The House of Expectation),

the needy patients are given counseling, free medicine and financial assistance at Good Samaritan Center (The House of Consolation), and the unemployed are given job assistance and vocational training in various projects undertaken by Prathibha Charitable Trust.

Our new project Pramodam caters to the sick people in the nearby hospitals by providing them with food everyday.

We do not charge anything to the residents. All our expenses are met by voluntary generous support from our supporters. We are indeed grateful for your help and assistance extended to us in the past and we hope that you will continue to participate actively and encourage our noble efforts in the service of humankind. We cannot operate without your help.

Please consider donating your prayers, financial and voluntary support. See How Can I Help to get ideas on how you can help. Your contributions go a long way in our homes.

May God bless you all!

Yours in Christ Jesus

Dr. Mathews Mar Severios

(Metropolitan, Diocese of Kandanad)
