Outreach at Lumen Christi College asks all our Community to open their eyes, touch their hearts and move their hands in response to the incredible difficulties people face both nationally and internationally. Compelled by the message, life and love of Jesus Christ, we form students to build care, love and gratitude for others. Our Outreach program reminds us that we can make a difference and our help is appreciated. Our College supports many worthwhile foundations, and have endeavoured to help people suffering in poverty, health and crisis care.

As a College, we not only endeavour to help those in need but also to educate our community about tremendous social issues. It is important not only to donate but also to recognise the dimensions, causes and consequences of the issues. Recognising issues helps form our young men and women to leave our community wiser about what they may encounter in their workplace, the way they may vote, the values they teach their families, and the manner in which they conduct themselves in society. Like the example set by Jesus, Outreach is action to help people immediately, long term and eternally.

Amongst any others, Lumen Christi College supports the following agencies:

  • Matrix Mission
    The Matrix Mission is in Atoor, a modest town in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu State, the southern tip of India. Working in partnership with Fr Maria, a priest of the diocese of Trivandrum, the Lumen Christi College Community helps to provide a home, food, clothing and education for 26 boys who live at the Matrix.
