VIRAR, FEBRUARY 5, 2010: The Resurrection Church at Virar added another feather to its cap with the launch of the Community Care Centre on January 31, 2010.
The concept was suggested by the parishioners and was duly supported by Fr. Edwin keeping in mind the needs of the parishioners, many of whom are economically disadvantaged. The CCC also aims at making individuals financially self-sufficient by training them in order to secure gainful employment.

Services provided by the CCC include guidance in the field of medicine, law, counseling, finance and employment. Well qualified professionals in each of the above mentioned fields will render their services on a voluntary basis every fortnight, as per a time schedule. As part of its infra-structure, the CCC includes an employment bureau, that will liaison between potential employers and those seeking employment in different fiends including catering and domestic work. Computer knowledge is available too. Training in the field of tailoring will be introduced first.
