Grace Home
The construction of Grace Home began on 19th February 2022 and the inauguration took place on the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, 15th of August 2023.
Inspired and urged by the requests put forward to us, we began responding as a community to the voice of Christ, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40). From 2019, we have been able to give food to the hungry in different places in Kerala till present.
Over a few years we sensed a particular need to help the underprivileged in Ernakulam District, Kerala, India and were inspired to work to alleviate poverty and suffering of the children of God through building a centre called Grace Home.
Although we received this new sense of social outreach/corporal works of mercy, nevertheless, wanted to hold dearly to our Catholic identity. Therefore, it also felt important to contribute towards people’s spiritual needs too. Our spiritual journey can be likened to that of the flight of a bird. The two wings of a bird is our union with God and the service of our neighbour. Both of these lead us to eternal life.
