HEALTH CARE COMMISSION REPORT

The commission for health care of our diocese is mainly doing the work of visiting and guiding the patients. The secretary of the commission periodically visits the patients who are there in the hospitals in and around Palayamkottai. They were given guidance and medical support. The Catholics were given Holy Communion on their request. Every Tuesday special prayer service is conducted for the intentions of the suffering people in our Diocesan Shrine of St.Antony at Palay market.

 

In the month of July in order to promote EYE DONATION the commission had arranged for an eye camp in the parish of Karuthappillaiyur with the collaboration with AGARWAL EYE HOSPITAL- TIRUNELVELI. More than 450 people had benefitted and some 20 people came forward to donate their eyes. It was well arranged by Rev.Fr. Susai Selvaraj and very well helped by the youth of Karuthappillaiyur parish. Thanks to Fr.Susai and his youth group. In the month of August the commission is planning to have this eye camp in singamparai parish.
