Covid-19 Relief Work in Shalom Friary, Hyderabad

The community of Shalom Friary helps the stranded Migrant workers, the daily wage earners, local poor found on the road police personnel on duty in the area of our community, and the poor families in our parish area by giving food to people daily and distributing Rice and Dhal to some needy families. We could reach out the needy with the help of the Catechist Sisters, few school employees, parishioners and some Christians and non-Christians of the neighbourhood. The work began since 3rd April. We have been preparing 200 food packets and distributing to the needy every day.

We are able to distribute a good amount of Rice, Dhal and oil to around 600 needy families of our Parish area, both Christians and non-Christians. Our service has roused the goodness in the heart of our neighbours (even non-Christians) as evidenced by their willingness to volunteer their service or make small donations in kind or cash.

Besides providing food, the Friars gather for an hour of Adoration every day during which we give thanks to the Lord for all the goodness and breaking of barriers that we are seeing in this neighbourhood. As several parts of our Parish area now fall in the Red Zone and movements of people are restricted, the help we are able to give (thanks to our Benefactors) is much appreciated. May God be the reward for us and our Benefactors.
