PIOUS SOCIETIES / ORGANISATIONS IN THE PARISH

Pious Societies are of great importance in building and deepening the spiritual life of every Catholic Christian. As a result, every parishioner would be more relevant to God by belonging to at least one Pious Society.

Belonging to umbrella organisations like the CMO, CWO and CYON does not pious society automatically is a member of CMO, CWO or CYON respectively depending on what applies to any of us by age or gender. For example youths in Legion of Mary, Sacred Heart etc. become members of the CYON. Men and Women in any pious society similarly must belong to CMO and CWO and should practically and actively be enrolled in their membership.

These are the existing Pious Societies in our Parish;
