MISSION CONCERNS
PIHDM
The Parish Integral Human Development Ministry (PIHDM) is dedicated to works of mercy, charity and catering to the basic human needs of food, shelter, health care and education of the marginalized. Legal assistance and counselling is also provided to those in need. A part of the PIHDM’s efforts to aid the marginalized is to assist with the collection of necessities like food, clothing etc. Besides that, the ministry along with the Tzu Chi organization has been holding free medical clinics each month, to benefit the refugees. Pope Paul II once said that “The parish must be a HOME to everyone,” and therefore we have amazing communities like the Filipino El Shadai Community and Vietnamese, Myanmarese, Indonesian, Indian, Sri Lankan and Nigerian communities. All together as ONE.
If you would like to contribute and cater to the marginalised, please contact:

The Women’s Desk was an initiative by the Archdiocesan Pastoral Centre through the
Archdiocesan Ministry of Integral Human Development way back in 2012 in its call for ‘Women To Empower Women’. It was primarily formed to assist the Parish Integral Human Development Ministry (PIHDM). As an extension of their mission to aid the poor, the Ave Maria Soup Kitchen (AMSK) was inaugurated by Rev Fr Frederick Joseph on 8 September 2016. The team of approximately 25 volunteers feed the less fortunate and underprivileged in Klang, twice a week.
