    As part of Pastoral Peer Support program (PPS) The Parish Barefoot Counselors are trained by Fr. Cajetan Menezes and team from Snehalaya Family Centre Mumbai from Nov. 2007 to 2009. These trainers attend periodic follow-up training.

    This trained group helps families and individuals of all nationalities in the parish.


    Purpose of Counselling

    It is to empower the individuals to cope with life situations to reduce emotional stress, to engage in growth producing activity and to make effective decisions.

    Pastoral Counseling includes taking into account the person’s moral and faith dimensions. Persons of any age, from any walk of life and with almost any kind of problem can be helped to gain power over the adversities and opportunities of their lives.

    Depending on the depth and gravity of the situation clients are referred to psychologists available in  the vicariate  or advised suitably.

    Counseling service is not a mere psychological and mental assistance to a brother or a sister in our parish community. We serve as a catalyst for family life and relationship. A happy and mature person contributes to the betterment of the community.
