Syro-Malabar Women’s Forum
(St. Alphonsa Parish Women’s Ministry)
Vision and Purpose
The Forum advocates for the importance of women’s leadership in parish life. While women have always found joy and fulfillment in their roles as mothers and caregivers, this ministry provides a platform for them to extend their gifts in service to the Church. Entirely volunteer-driven, the Forum is dedicated to fostering collaboration, creativity, and faith-filled action.
Our Contributions
Members of the Forum actively serve the parish through many responsibilities, including:
- Decorating the church and arranging flowers for the altar and special occasions
- Providing hospitality for guest priests
- Supporting our youth and CML children
- Organizing parish celebrations such as Father’s Day, Onam, and other cultural events
From its early days, the Forum also engaged in knowledge-sharing sessions and fundraising efforts to support needy children in India. Sales events and charitable initiatives have been part of its mission to extend love and care beyond our parish walls.
A Community of Action
Today, the Syro-Malabar Women’s Forum is a fellowship of women of action—serving, celebrating, and enriching parish life with beauty, color, and devotion. Through this ministry, members grow together in faith, prayer, and service, always giving thanks to God for the gift of community.
