Apostolic Sodales
The Institute of Apostolic Sodales started in 1962 in Roma, strive to live the gift of their vocation in the spirit of the cenacle. Priestly union and sanctity spreads through the cenacle. Together they create a deeper bond between the Hierarchy andtheir brother priests, emphasizing in their ministry that holiness and fraternity are essential dimensions of each and every Christian life. The unity among priests deepens the spirituality of the cenacle and enables to help as well as share mutually.
In India the Institute of the Apostolic Sodales was started in 1983 and Rev.fr.Mathew Vellanickal was appointed to guide the Institute by the Founder. Today our sodales are from the diocese of Changanacherry, Kanjirappally and Pala. Now Fr. Mathew Vellanickal is the General Majour father of this Institute and Rev. Dr. Sebastian Kollamkunnel is the National Majour Father in India.
