Mathrujyothis

Family is the basic unit and a miniature of the Church. Christian family constitutes a specific revelation and realization of ecclesial communion and for this reason it is called ‘domestic church’.

The mother of the family represents and reflects the image of Mary, the Mother. He loves, cares, protects, teaches and guides the family.

Mathujyothis is an organization of fathers in the parish and works under parish pastoral guidance to organize the mothers in the parish under its umbrella. There are priest Directors at Unit, Forane and Archdiocese level. Family Apostolate at Archdiocese issues guidelines and monitor the activities of Mathrujyothis.
