The Most Rt Rev Chinnappa himself suggested to call this center as Karunalayam, which means, “The abode of Compassion”. For the past ten years there is a great development in this city of Chennai. People long for the word of God. They like to hear the word of God. Regular Sunday masses in the parishes are not satisfying their needs. They like Pentecostal sects for they give importance to the word of God. They express an anxiety over the hearing the word of God. The People particularly of the poor and middle class long for more spiritual food. A lot of people come to the Church and some conversions take place. There is a revival in the Catholic Church here. Hence the Society started organizing Charismatic prayer services to preach the word of God. The Archbishop of Madras Mylapore has seen the efforts of Blessed Sacrament Priests and Brothers personally and appreciates their missionary work. The work of Blessed Sacrament Society here has gone on for the past 11 years. More than 850 retreats preached, a number of prayer groups helped spiritually, counseling for more than 1500 people in this year alone-these are some of the highlight of the center. The Prayer Hall namely Karunalayam was initiated and built by Fr.M.I.Raj sss the Director and Fr.Punithan sss the administrator.
