"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love" - St Teresa of Kolkata.

From the very day of its existence the Shimoga Multipurpose Social Service Society® has been doing small things with great love and commitment. The society which is completing thirty years of its joyful service is compassionately reaching out to the poor and marginalized with love through its various programmes. Great achievements may not be visible, large number of honors may not have been received, more and more publicity may not have been done or out beating developments may not have taken place, yet the Shimoga Multipurpose Social Service Society® is a brand in itself, has recognition and unconditional acceptance in the society, and has created its own image in the public domain. This very fact keeps the society grow stronger year after year.
Through the process of capacity building and rights based actions the society is moving in the right direction to achieve its vision of creating a society based on justice, peace and love. May the Lord who guides our every action motivate us more and more to continue our service to the poor and marginalized in a spirit of love and compassion.
I place on record the committed leadership of Most Rev. Dr Ignatius Pinto, Most Rev. Dr Gerald Isaac Lobo and now Most Rev. Dr Francis Serrao SJ. Their far-sighted vision has taken the Society to greater heights. The loving and committed services of Rev. Frs Mark Patrick D'Silva, Clement M. D’Souza, Gilbert Lobo, Veeresh V. Moras, Richard Pais have imprinted an indelible mark in the hearts of all the beneficiaries of SMSSS. To all of them a BIG THANKS.
It is the generous support and loving concern of donor agencies towards all development works of SMSSS that has made the Society reach out to all the corners of the three civil districts of Shivamogga, Chitradurga and Davanagere. May the Lord bless all the donor agencies and individual donors abundantly.
It is the dedicated service of the staff of SMSSS which is the backbone of the growth of this Society. May they experience joy and satisfaction in all what they do for the poor and the marginalized. And finally may all the beneficiaries of SMSSS experience God's love and compassion through our service.
God Bless Every One.
Yours in the Lord
