A platform for women to meet, share ideas, organize, strive, strengthen, reflect, and empower their values in the community.

Our Mission: With the Marian values of servitude, prosperity of family life, and strong faith we will grow and empower women through our service, prayer and fellowship at St. Joseph Syro Malabar Catholic Forane Church.

Pope Francis calls women to be a “more effective presence” in the Church and in the world. ~Catholic Women's Forum

The St. Joseph’s Women’s Forum was founded in the early 2005, with our first president as Jessy
Manakalathil. Followed by her, was Lissy Sojan and Manju Maliyekkal. Ligy Varkey and Jainamma Jose Uthirakkulathil followed after. We have had the honor of having Rev. Sr. Betsy serving as our Advisor for the Women’s Forum alongside our Parish Vicars, guiding us in every step. With our successful leaders, we were able to contribute to the building of Grotto in our Church. Through our charitable activities, we were able to achieve success in raising funds for young women’s education, weddings, medical treatments, housing, and many more for the needy in Kerala, India. We have also conducted educational classes on Parenting and Behavioral Health in our Church, as well as hosting Blood Drives. The Women’s Forum members and leaders are always at the forefront of our Church festivities as helpful hands.
