JMJ SOCIAL SERVICE SOCIETY - MAHABUBNAGAR - A BRIEF HISTORY – 1982-2019

HYDERABAD PROVINCE:

Jesus Mary Joseph Social Service Society (JMJSSS), Mahabubnagar, a Catholic Religious Minority Organization with its Head Quarters in Hyderabad.

JMJs are identified with Social Apostolate right from the inception of the Society. The Charism, an Ever Adoptable Apostolic Availability, bequeathed to the JMJs by our Founder Fr.Mathias Wolff S.J., opened new vistas for us to launch out to the Social Apostolate as per the signs of the times. No doubt, if we review the Social Apostolate as was practiced at the start of the Society, it is very different from what it is today. However, one thing is clear, the target group is always the poor, needy, oppressed, voiceless and marginalized. JMJs can proudly say that the Social Apostolate is carried on in different ways, in different places, to different needs and wants of the people.

Vision and Mission

The activities of the JMJSSS are inspired and based on the Word of God and social teachings of the Church.  In the words of Pope Paul VI, it must envisage the whole man in all his aspects right including his openness to the absolute, even in the divine absolute (F.N33) social work is part and parcel of the church’s mission and its objective is the upliftment of human person in all dimension.

JMJ Social Service Society (JMJSSS)

Today Social Apostolate is carried on a more organized way in the JMJ Society.

1982: The first JMJ Social Service Society was established in Nallapadu in Guntur Dist.(A.P). It was registered under AP. Registration Act of 1860.

1984: The Society formed a team of members consisting of

Sr.Bertilia Govindu

Sr.Hendricia Konreddy

Sr.Bhagyamma Akkam

Sr.CecilyVarghese Perekadan

1987:  The single JMJ Province was divided into three autonomous Provinces in the year 1987.

  • Bangalore Province
  • Guntur Province
  • Hyderabad Province

Then onwards each Province is planning and executing the Social activities according to the place and felt needs of the people.

1996: The integrated Social Service Society was started at St.Theresa’s Hospital, Sanathnagar, Hyderabad.

Sr.Julie Plackal initiated the women groups at Achampet area in a year 1995. With the help of two co-ordinators she has started the savings with the collaboration of Balavikasa.

During the course of time the senior sisters came around the view that the neglected areas in the state like Mahabubnagar Dist., with the Tribal population, need our services more than place like Hyderabad. As a result of this thinking, our pioneering nuns took steps to establish JMJSSS in Achampet, in the year 1995 with Balavikas and SLF activities. Our Society (JMJSSS) Mahabubnagar was registered as a branch of our head quarters Hyderabad. Later in 2004, we shifted our Head Quarters from Achampet to Fatima Convent, Mahabubnagar, as we had to face a lot of inconveniences in transportation and communication, with various activities within the Center situated in Achampet. Now JMJSSS is functioning in a  well-established building with all least infrastructure and manpower undertaking varied activities for the welfare of the neglected Tribal and Dalit girls and helpless women.

Our focus of attention in all these activities is the Vulnerable/Poor/Tribal/Dalit girls, who are in moral danger by ongoing economic developmental activity and skilled Training in a way to rehabilitate them from their pathetic condition. The activities undertaken by us are listed below.

During the course of work with the poor tribal women,  we realized the dire need to take up activities, which redress their problems of economic, educational and social in nature.  At present JMJSSS is engaged in carrying out the family activities.
