Pithruvedi – Renewing the World Through Family

Established in 2014 at the diocesan level, Pithruvedi is a devoted spiritual organization that welcomes every father from each family into its fold. In a world driven by the pace of modern life, Pithruvedi seeks to strengthen families, nurture the Church, and uphold the sacred responsibilities of fatherhood—following the quiet yet powerful example of our Heavenly Father.

The organization places strong emphasis on the spiritual growth of its members and the parish, fostering a united faith community rooted in prayer, service, and Christian values. Beyond the Church, Pithruvedi extends its mission to society at large, bringing comfort and relief to the poor and the needy. Guided by its patron saint, St. Joseph, Pithruvedi celebrates its feast day every year on March 19th, drawing inspiration from his life of trust, humility, and steadfast service. Its vision is beautifully captured in its goal - “Renew the World Through Family” - a reminder that the foundation of a better world begins at home.
