Sevika Sanghom

Since the formation of our parish in July 2001, the Sevika Sanghom has played an integral part in the spiritual and material growth of the parish.  Through its activities, the women of the parish have been taking many steps to strengthen their spiritual relationship with God, as well as participating in various outreach ministries. Regular prayer cell meetings and Bible studies are held in 4 areas: every Tuesday evening in Brampton and Mississauga, 2nd Wednesday in Hamilton and the 3rd Wednesday in Milton area.  A monthly combined prayer meeting is held on the last Tuesday of every month under the leadership of the vicar. These are wonderful opportunities to strengthen the spiritual life of our women by engaging in Bible studies, intercessory prayers and fellowship meetings. Regular Fasting Prayers and Praise & Worship sessions are organized to glorify and to witness Christ and for the spiritual rejuvenation and revitalization of the members. From time to time, chain prayers are organized to intercede for fellow members who are sick.

 

From a humble beginning with few members in 2011, St. Mathew’s Sevika Sanghom has grown to a mature organization engaging in activities at the North American Diocesan level as well. For the first time, we were privileged to host the XVII Diocesan Sevika Sanghom National Conference (DSSC) on Canadian soil in 2016.  The Theme for the conference was “Woman: Hands to work, Heart to God”. Around 320 delegates participated in the conference from various parishes in the Diocese.
