Parithiyur is an extended ministry of Punavasal Community. Canossa KarunaiIllam was established in 2019 at the request of Rt. REV. Dr. Devadas Ambrose, the Bishop of Tanjore. Like in Punavasal, majority of the people are Catholics. The sisters in parithiyur assist in the preparation of sacraments, care for the sick and attending to the alcoholic as well – counselling them and giving them the D-Addiction medicine. The sisters frequently visit families irrespective of caste or creed. The sisters in the community conducted a survey to find out the number of students who needs special coaching, the elderly who are not cared for etc… Apart from this, the sisters actively participate in the parish for the Catechism, preparation of Holy Mass, choir and other liturgical services in the parish as well as in the sub-stations. Young ladies who are jobless and who have discontinued jobs due to various reasons are being trained in craft activities. There are ample opportunities wherein the sisters can ‘make Jesus known and loved’ in this area. At present, we have a tailoring centre and a small clinic for the villagers.
