Catholic Church in Kerala and Mizoram encourage more children for catholic families

NEWDELHI: The Catholic leaders of the Kerala and Mizoram Churches have come forward encouraging their fold to bear more children fearing the communities dwindling population.
Kerala Catholic Church has already initiated a number of programmes in hospitals run by the Church such as fertilization of the infertile couples and tubectomies for women.

Fr. Jose Kottayil from Kerala says, “The church will extend support to women who want to undergo recanalisation or reversal of tubectomy. A recanalisation surgery in other hospitals costs around 50,000 rupees. In our church-run non-profit hospitals we can bring down the cost to 10,000 rupees.”
Kerala parishes are now active with seminars and awareness programmes for the smaller catholic families making them aware of the need to have larger families for the welfare of the community. Meanwhile the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council has agreed to provide financial help to families bearing a third child or the fourth one.
