Though there is accommodation facility in the Good Samaritan Centre,
that is not enough. There is demand for rooms for camps and request from
those who reserve Mutholath auditorium for residential rooms for few
days while they make wedding arrangements. The Keralites living abroad
who come for few weeks were also suggesting having well-furnished
air-conditioned rooms for their temporary living with food and
transportation facilities. Considering all these factors, Fr. Abraham
Mutholath offered to contribute for the construction of Impact Centre.
His Grace Mar Mathew Moolakkatt laid foundation stone for the building
on October 27, 2019. In spite of the COVID-19 issues, the construction
progressed under the guidance of Vicar General Fr. Michael Vettikkatt,
Diocesan Director Fr. Alex Akkapparambil, KSSS director Fr. Sunil
Perumanoor and under the supervision of Fr. James Vadakkekandamkariyil.
Archbishop Mar Mathew Moolakkatt blessed and inaugurated the Impact
Centre on December 13, 2020. Mr. Thomas Chazhikadan MP presided over the
meeting and Mr. Mons Joseph MLA, Vicar General Fr. Michael Vettikkatt,
Forane Vicar Fr. Joy Kattiyangal, and Sr. Saly SVM spoke on the
occasion.
PURPOSE OF IMPACT CENTRE:
1. A residential institution for the training camps in Good Samaritan
Centre for the disabled and their trainers in the state or national
