The Church on caring and serving

"Love and charity, are service, helping others, serving others. There are many people who spend their lives in this way, in the service of others. …When you forget yourself and think of others, this is love! And with the washing of the feet the Lord teaches us to be servants, and above all, servants as He was a servant to us, for every one of us.” Pope Francis, Jubliee audience, March 12, 2016.

Catholics share Jesus’ vision and model their lives after Jesus’ example of love. Catholics are called to care for one another and to use their unique gifts and talents for the good of the community and the world. We strive to follow Jesus’ teachings in our lives: to love God above all else and to love others, to practice forgiveness and mercy, to care for the poor and helpless. We work for peace and justice in our world.

We bring God’s kingdom of peace, unity, and love to a world faced with conflict, division, and strife.

Shanthi Dham

Shanthi Dham means "abode of peace." It is an initiative of the Missionaries of St Francis de Sales located in Mysuru, Karnataka, South India. Here, the missionaries nurture human dignity, offering care and treatment to those who are destitute, poor, unwanted, rejected, or abandoned as they near the end of life.

Shanthi Dham is a personal, heartfelt project for our own Fr Anthony Swamy. If you wish to learn more, listen as Fr Persing speaks with Fr Swamy.
