Abstract
To realize the words of Jesus in action, the Christianity is engaged from the beginning in social activities such as helping the poor, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, caring the sick, etc. These have been made as the mandatory for all through the social teachings of the Church in its compendium – human dignity, community and the common good, rights and responsibilities, option for the poor and vulnerable, participation and subsidiarity, dignity of work and the rights of both men and women, stewardship of creation, solidarity, role of government and promotion of peace. Hence, the charitable activities were carried out all over the world including our nation. In India, “Caritas India” is the official social work organ of Catholic Bishops’ Conference (CBCI) and in the regional level Tamil Nadu Social Service Society (TASOSS) functions to unite all Diocesan Social Service Societies of Tamil Nadu. With this background, an attempt has been made in this article to highlight on how the Archdiocese in Madras-Mylapore has carried out and is carrying out Jesus’ commission as interpreted in the 21st century. The article observes that what crucial role the Church can play/plays in community building and uplifting the standards of living for the community within its vicinity. The special reference made in this article for community development is associated with the Madras Social Service Society (MSSS) which is the official organ for social work of Archdiocese in Madras-Mylapore. Therefore, this article analyses the primary objective of the Madras Social Service Society and discusses its rural community development programmes for the development of the socially and economically marginalised people in the Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu.
