Organizational Profile
1. CST Fathers
The Little Flower Congregation (CST Fathers)was founded in 1931 by Fr. Basilius Panat, guided by the “Little Way” of St. Thérèse of Lisieux—to do small acts with great love. Rooted in this spirituality, the CST Fathers dedicate themselves to evangelization through service: in education, healthcare, family counselling, social inclusion, and rural upliftment.
The St. Thomas Province, headquartered in Kozhikode, spearheads several humanitarian and social missions across Kerala, southern Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and various parts of Northeast India. The mission also extends beyond Indian borders to Africa, Papua New Guinea, and different parts of Europe, embracing global communities in need. In its commitment to social justice, the Province established Samaritan Trust as its official charitable arm.
A key initiative under this wing is the Good Samaritan Rehabilitation & Training Centre (GSRTC), a specialized centre offering free rehabilitation and vocational training for the differently-abled, including paraplegic and accident survivors.
"Disability is not inability when compassion opens the door to possibility."
