Message from Vice Chairperson

Dear Friends, Partners and Associates of the Western Region Social Service Forum,

The Western Region Social Service Forum – WRSSF – as the Social Development Wing of the Western Region Bishop’s Council with its Regional level presence in the States of Gujarat, Goa and Maharashtra, has been involved with several meaningful interventions aimed at coordinating and strengthening the Social Development Ministry of the Catholic Church in these states. Integral Human Development is the inalienable right of every person and the Catholic Church through its numerous service- outlets strives to offer all possible support to every person for his / her development.

It is the Vision of the primacy of the Human Person and the mission of enabling everyone to experience the fullness of life that the Western Region Social Service Forum – WRSSF engages itself with numerous fruit bearing and innovative programs in the social development sector. As the Vice – Chairman of WRSSF, I have been closely associated with the different activities of WRSSF for the past year. During the year 2016-2017, WRSSF had been able to enhance its service quality to its Partner Organizations and other stakeholders and was able to achieve tangible results in the consistent growth process of the Organization.
​
I invoke God’s Blessings on WRSSF and extend my good wishes to the Director and Staff of WRSSF and its Partnering Diocesan Social Service Societies.

Bishop Jose Chittooparambil CMI
