VIJAYAPURAM SOCIAL SERVICE SOCIETY 50 YEARS MOVING WITH THE TIMES AND STAYING WITH THE POOR
Vijayapuram Social Service Society is in a jubilant mood. It celebrates its Golden Jubilee from 2nd October 2010 to 2nd October 2011. This is planned as a year of grand celebrations – celebrations in song and dance, in art and drama, in study and research, in prayer and retreat, in graphics and print! Celebrations are a call to review and renew and relaunch VSSS’s Mission and Vision.
In fact, in the 365 days between 2nd October 2010 and 2nd October 2011 we will be witnessing some of the most memorable events in the annals of the Society. These events will bring together the people at various moments and in different locations in the true spirit of joyful sharing.
Jubilee is considered as a period to look into the past, in order to make it a relevant response to the needs of the world of the third millennium, in creative fidelity to Church’s Social Mission, in re-committed dedication to the service of the people, in unconditional participation in the struggles and anxieties of the people.

This was also a grateful dedication to the galaxy of valiant forerunners who brought out VSSS’s Vision and Mission, nurtured its growth by their toil and sacrifices and left behind a splendid testament of total dedication in the service of growth, development and empowerment of the people.
