The seminarians who are members of the ‘Jesus Fraternity’ involve themselves in Prison Ministry. They assist in the Mass offered in Prison and occasionally conduct prayer services and entertainment programmes for the prisoners. They do special sacrifices and prayers for the success of this ministry
On 8th December 1981, our founders named Varghese Karippery and Francis Kodiyan, (Philosophy Students in St Thomas apostolic Seminary, Vadavathoor, Kottayam), had been entrusted with the weekly office for attending the phone calls. While they had been on duty, they encountered a special intervention of God, who bestows them with a special gift to work for the least, the last and the lost; followed by a powerful message from the crucifix that invites every person to become a Love-bomb to heal the broken hearts. Prison pilgrimage was really an eye-opener for them, for they learnt to rely on the providence of God as the only resource for an effective Jail ministry. And that was exactly the reason why this movement bore the name 'Jesus Fraternity'.
Whenever we go in Jesus name, prison gates are getting opened for us because only Jesus can work miracles among the prisoners. we have been actively participating in this ministry for the last 35 years.we visit the inmates of the sub jail ,hear them, inspair them, we spent time with them effectively. we are coordinate different units in the aluva zone
