Social work is the most important foundation of all our activities through our immediate and merciful response. It will make a great impact on the people. The members of the Preshitha Province show special interest in extending support to the needy in varied ways and some of our institutions are directly involved in such challenging activities especially through Akasaparavakal under the leadership of Late Fr Sunny Ukkan CMI. He was given the new face to the Preshitha Province by starting Akasaparavakal, a home for the destitute at Karimba, Palakkad. It is a remarkable service for the society. It helps us to reach out to the destitute, the economically backward and the downtrodden. Many people realised their call through this activity and thirst fully opted and served as social workers. Pope Francis always invites everyone to extent the support for the poor and the needy. He says “Those who are most wounded, oppressed and even crushed are the poor, the weakest lines in the chain. By focusing on the poor, the church asks us not to turn aside, not to be afraid to take close look at tsuffering of the most vulnerable.” At present, there are 3 destitute homes including Threethasharam (Aakasaparavakal) at Karimba, Alphonsa Bhavan at Vettathur and Karunai Illam, Coimbatore
