ACCURATE AND UP TO DATE ACCOUNTS
Reverend and dear Fathers, Brothers and Sisters, prayerful
greetings to you in the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1. Accurate and Up to Date Accounts
The parish priests and the heads of the educationalinstitutions, by virtue of their office, are administratorsof the finances and properties within their jurisdiction.
The parishes and educational institutions are juridicalpersons and as such there should be a finance committeein them (Can. 537 and Can. 1280) to assist the administratorin the administration of the temporal goods.
The provisions of the canon law, diocesan statutesand civil law are to be strictly followed in the administrationof finances and properties.
The Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for April 2016
General: That small farmers may receive a just reward
for their precious labour.
Mission: That Christians in Africa may give witness to
love and faith in Jesus Christ amid political-religious
conflicts.
ARCHBISHOP'S MESSAGE
Message Message
The administrators are expected to have maximum honesty,sincerity, credibility, transparency, accountability andresponsibility in financial matters.
Accountability is not possible unless accounts are keptaccurate and up to date.
Maintaining accurate accounts on a daily basis is a seriousduty and responsibililty of the administrators of the juridicalpersons.
For the financial year 2015-2016, accurate and completeaccounts are to be sent to the Procurator’s office on or beforethe 15th of April 2016.
Can. 1284 stipulates that all the administrators of thejuridical persons (parish priests, parochial administrators, headsof educational institutions, estate managers, etc) are to performtheir duties with the diligence of a good house holder.The Canon is given here for our quick reference:
Can. 1284 §1. All administrators are bound to fulfill theirfunction with the diligence of a good householder.
§2. Consequently they must:
1º exercise vigilance so that the goods entrusted to their careare in no way lost or damaged, taking out insurance policiesfor this purpose insofar as necessary;
2º take care that the ownership of ecclesiastical goods isprotected by civilly valid methods;
3º observe the prescripts of both canon and civil law or thoseimposed by a founder, a donor, or legitimate authority, andespecially be on guard so that no damage comes to the Churchfrom the non-observance of civil laws;

April 2016April 2016 105 106 MessageMessage
4º collect the return of goods and the income accurately andon time, protect what is collected, and use them according tothe intention of the founder or legitimate norms;
5º pay at the stated time the interest due on a loan or mortgageand take care that the capital debt itself is repaid in a timelymanner;
6º with the consent of the ordinary, invest the money which isleft over after expenses and can be usefully set aside for thepurposes of the juridic person;
7º keep well organized books of receipts and expenditures;
8º draw up a report of the administration at the end of eachyear;
9º organize correctly and protect in a suitable and properarchive the documents and records on which the propertyrights of the Church or the institute are based, and depositauthentic copies of them in the archive of the curia when itcan be done conveniently.
§3. It is strongly recommended that administrators preparebudgets of incomes and expenditures each year; it is left toparticular law, however, to require them and to determine moreprecisely the ways in which they are to be presented.

FROM THE DESK OF VICARS
March – April – May we are happy and blessed by Easter Season
with Feasts, First Communion, Confirmations, Professions,
Ordinations, Jubilee, Holiday, Visits, Marriages, Celebrations after
celebrations crowded for us and others. May the Risen Lord be our
guide and model to encounter the flock with house blessings etc. Let
us be careful in our travels and value the preciousness of time and
grace. May the peace of the Lord Risen over our parishes, diocese
and the society.
May we be grateful for the appointments, transfers and charge of
ministry as envisioned by the Lord, the Archbishop, the Superiors
and the Consultors which is taking place with all our limitations and
imperfections through which the marvels of the Lord is revealed to
us. May we not so much go by our likes and desires rather than the
will of God and the well-being of the people. Let us be aware and
awake not to be immersed in the temporary, losing sight of the
permanent, the Risen Lord.
Junior Clergy
God will arrange for the young clergy for placement in the
Archdiocese in His own times. What matters is the person as a
priest than the service that we are longing for. We could be creative
and relevant even without an assignment. Let us exercise the call of
God from wherever we are.
The Junior Clergy have not yet submitted their findings on “Life-
Style Today” to Fr. A. Melchizedech, you are ready as soon as we
get all the assignments, we will have the sharing session in the month
of June.
The six Deacons and the three Brothers to be ordained as Deacons
are preparing themselves through retreat and other commitments.
Let us all pray for them and be with them to get them into the
presbyterium of our Archdiocese.

Change and New Blood
With the fruits of Easter celebrations, a change for the better and
new energy due to transfers are available. May our Archdiocese
become vibrant in faith and witness. Let the parish councils come
together to dialouge and plan for the growth of the ecclesial
communities in the vicariates, parishes and sub-stations. Let us be
always open to the spirit of the Risen Lord. Let us help our lay-
leaders to be trained periodically by the Pastoral Centre and other
Centres outside our diocese. May the devotion to our Blessed Mother
in May bring all of us together under the protection of our Blessed
Virgin Mary. May the student world find our concern concretely to
assist them with funds, to choose the right direction towards studies
etc.

VOICE FROM METROPOLITAN MATRIMONIAL TRIBUNAL - 66
I. Civil Laws Concerning Women
The principle of gender equality is enshrined in the Indian
Constitution in its Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Fundamental
Duties and Directive Principles. The Constitution not only grants
equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures
of positive discrimination in favour of women. To uphold the
Constitutional mandate, the State has enacted various legislative
measures intended to ensure equal rights, to counter social
discrimination and various forms of violence and atrocities. Although
women may be victims of any the crimes such as ‘Murder’,
‘Robbery’, ‘Cheating’ etc, the crimes which are directed specifically
against women, are characterized as ‘Crime against Women’.
1. The Crimes Identified Under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as ‘Crime
Against Woman’
Rape (Sec.376 IPC)
• Kidnapping & Abduction for different purposes (Sec.363-373)
• Homicide for Dowry, Dowry Deaths or their attempts (Sec.302/
304-B IPC)
• Torture, both mental and physical (Sec.498-A IPC)
• Molestation (Sec.354 IPC)
• Sexual Harassment (Sec.509 IPC)
• Importation of girls (up to 21 years of age)
2. The Crimes against women which are covered under Special Laws
(SLL)
• Immoral Traffic (Prevention Act, 1956
• Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961
• Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986
• Commission of Sati (prevention) Act, 1987
• National Commission for Women Act, 1990
• Protection of Women fro, Domestic Violence Act, 2005
• Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention,
prohibition and Re-dressal)Act. 2013.

3. Women’s Rights are Human Rights (International Women’s Day,
March 8th)
“A world where women are marginalized is a sterile world,
because women don’t just bear life but transmit to us the ability to
see otherwise, they see things differently. They transmit to us the
ability to understand the world with different eyes, to understand
things with hearts that are more creative, more patient, more tender.”
– Pope Francis
II.Divine Mercy forgives us through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation:
God who is Rich in Mercy (Eph.2/4) invites everyone to do
the sacrament of reconciliation: The sacrament of reconciliation is
the ordinary way of obtaining forgiveness and the remission of sins
committed after Baptism. The Fathers of the Church therefore called
it “a second plank after shipwreck.” It has 5 different names:-
Sacrament of Conversion, Sacrament of Confession, Sacrament of
Penance, Sacrament of Healing and Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The reconciliation is effected through a perfect contrition. Perfect
contrition is that when one is sorry for the sins out of genuine love
for God the Father who is rich in mercy. Let this year of Mercy
become for all of us a privileged moment to celebrate and experience
the Divine Mercy in and through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
III. Ethics deals with the study and philosophy of human conduct,
with emphasis on right and wrong. It’s a matter of doing the right
thing at every available opportunity… Follow admiral ethical
principles: 1. Be trustful, 2. Opened minded, 3 Meet obligations, 4.
Clean transparent documentation and policies, also be respectful.
Ethics are not only important in business but in all aspects of life too
because it is all essential part of the foundation on which a civilized
society is built. It is wise to insert morals into your organizations
MISSION STATEMENT. It creates a sense of trust between you and
your clients. Remember business is always embedded in a moral
universe. Everything applies in Family and Life.
Happy Easter! Easter blessings to you and all your parishioners,
May God’s love and Mercy fill our hearts with joy today and forever.
Thanking you
Fr. S. Pascal Raj
Judicial Vicar
