We envisage that Asia, the cradle of religions and cultures, can and should creatively live out religious commitment in order to build up communities blessed with Justice, peace and harmony…

Collectively searching for ways to identify the socio-economic-religious reasons that lead to disunity and discord among different religious groups…in order that we may in our won creative ways could contribute towards peace and amity among all peoples…


By creating awareness among members of parish families regarding the attitude of the Catholic Church towards other religious beliefs…


By assisting the school authorities to form Peace Clubs and other such related activities in our own as well as neighborhood schools…


By developing critical sense of awareness in the face of mounting prejudices against particular religious communities…

By paying adequate attention to sensitivities of other religious groups in our service institutions…

By enabling the students in our schools and the youth of our parishes to understand human dignity in the light of our religious beliefs…
