Can you lend a helping hand to a future Trinitarian Missionary priest?
We were entrusted with a parish and school by the Archdiocese, at Tamulpur in Baksa Dt., a remote village about 90 km away from Guwahati where we engage in pastoral work, evangelization of the local people, supporting Christians in difficult situations, social work, boarding for boys, education of children and youth, and much more. Catholics in our parish are mainly from the tribal communities of Santals and Adivasis. Most of these people remain very poor and live in interior villages where there is less chance of electricity, education and hospitals. The majority suffer from malnutrition. Many perish due to malaria and other diseases. Lack of education has generated a negative impact on their lifestyle.
India is a country where, in cities, young people are drawn towards fast money, growing corporate culture and imitation of the worldly lifestyle, leading to increased addictions and getting into quick relationships both physically and emotionally. In rural areas, lack of education, poverty, narrow mindedness, oppression and anti-social practices are quite prevalent. Youth are growing in an environment where a high population dictates the norms of life and success. Consequently, extreme competition in education and career is making many youth disappointed, depressed, mentally disturbed and also causing migration in huge numbers. Political chaos, corruption and communal disharmony are on the rise.
