3 Bible Ministry is an important aspect of Christian and faith formation in our parishes.  Through regular family visits, sincere efforts have been made to encourage the people to have Bibles, to read the Bible, and to pray with the Bible in the families.  In the basic Christian communities, the importance of reading the Word of God and to pray with it is encouraged and insisted.

4  Through seminars we educate the people on the importance and relevance of the Word of God for our daily life.
