| The Latin word "Caritas"
means charity or love. Caritas India is part of an international
network of Catholic Church's charity organization called Caritas
Internationalis.
Caritas India, a non-profit organization, is the official
social service arm of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of
India. It was established in 1962. During the last four decades
of its humanitarian and development effort, Caritas India
has served the poor and marginalized, regardless of caste,
creed and ethnicity.
The organization aims to bring compassion and love to humanity.
As Blessed Mother Theresa of Kolkatta would say, charity is
love in action. Caritas exists to actualize Christian love. |
