Sahagaami Day Care Centre at GSC, Chiyyaram on 25 November 2024
In Chiyyaram area, we found that there are many widows and senior citizens who are alone at home
when the family members go for work. To address their loneliness and unhappiness and to enhance
the joy of life, Sahagaami Day Care Centre was initiated on 25 th November 2024 with the
Eucharistic Celebration by Fr. Jason Pulikotil, our parish Priest. Sahagaami means one who walks
with or accompany someone. Thirty three women enrolled their names and about 18-20 women
come to the Centre daily.
They start coming from 8.30am onwards. We focus on their physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual well being. We conduct sessions, games, riddles, sing-songs, dance, action-songs and
laughing therapy. They are taught yoga, relaxation, meditation, simple exercises and mudras. We
provide them with tea and snacks for their refreshment. Occasionally we go out for sightseeing and
we have celebration of feast and birthdays. At 12.15 noon they conduct their prayers. Once a week
they have Eucharistic adoration and reflection talk which helps them for their spiritual nourishment.
They go back home happily in the afternoon around 1.00pm. They wait eagerly for the next
morning to come back to our Sahagaami Centre.
