APOSTOLATE

The Sisters of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus engage in Medical work by extending our Christian charity to all without distinction and without seeking gain or gratitude. We do them in imitation of our compassionate, loving and gentle Master who went about the towns and villages healing the sick and the infirm.

We work in Hospitals, Maternity Centers, Orphanages and Clinics belonging to the Congregation, the Church or the State, in ready co-operation with other Health care providers, according to the circumstance. We make our services available to people of every condition, but especially to the poor and afflicted, and willingly spend ourselves for them. (2Cor.12:15). We share in their sorrows, their joys and try to understand their problems, their sufferings and their hopes (Ad Gen. 12).

The Sisters assists in the pastoral work of the Parishes such as:

• Religious Education

• Organizing Catholic Youth Ministry
• Home Visitation
• Formation of Basic Christian Communities
• Coordinating Catholic Women Societies

The Sisters also engage in making Vestments and Altar Bread. In accordance with our Founder’s wishes, the Sisters works, and sees that Sacristies and Sanctuaries are suitably furnished and neatly kept. In this way, sisters help both Clergy and Laity to celebrate the Eucharist with befitting reverence and devotion.

Our Sister Chaplain provides intensive and extensive pastoral care to our patients in various life situations. We offer pastoral care which is key services in total patient care.  We provide Care, compassion, supportive presence to our patient by so doing we continue in the missionary work of Christ. Our Sisters provide:

• Caring for patients and their families in bedside visits.
• Care and counsel with staff.
• Contributing as a member of a healthcare team.
• Conducting workshops for hospital staff and/or local pastors.
• Referring patients to local churches and community services.

As our Founder wished, the Congregation undertakes Apostolates that would help women and girls wherever we are sent.

The service of people’s temporal needs of body, mind and spirit is in itself the service of Christ himself. “…As you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.” (Matt. 25:40).

This is an Apostolate which needs no further justification. Nevertheless, the Sisters engaged in Social Work also prepares as opportunities offer, explains religious beliefs to the people whom we are giving assistance to.

In organizing Social action, the Sisters respect and utilize as far as possible the traditional structure of any ethnic group they are dealing with. (Ad Gentes 21, 22, 26).

3. Adult Literacy Classes

5. Management of Motherless Babies Homes

Our Sisters work with the sick and the Infirm in various homes and centers. We radiate Christ love to them and try to alleviate their suffering, by doing so, we become “altus Christus” – another Christ.

The Sisters assigned to domestic tasks in the Convents sees these works as their apostolate. By serving Christ in our sisters, it helps to create stronger community spirit among us. We also realize that our work is a prayer which asks God’s blessing upon our Sisters and the people for whom we work.
