Khammam

Vision

We vision the development of this particular mission by leaps and bounds through the instrumentality of each member of M.S.F.S. community. Helping the people to live their lives in more decent and human ways by giving them the best education possible through the use of latest trends in acquiring the knowledge and wisdom to which we adopt ourselves for the welfare of our community and the people whom we serve. While actively getting involved in spiritual activities through personal and community prayers, preaching ministry, Sacraments and through the various pious spiritual exercises, we also remain concerned about eradication of social, psychological and inhuman evils like poverty, various sicknesses, slavery, intolerance, injustice and etc. Thus we play our vital role in the development of the mystical body of Christ as the Missionaries of St. Francis De Sales after the examples of our Founder Fr. Peter Mary Mermier and St. Francis De Sales Patron of the Congregation.
