Commission for Children
The Diocese of Quilon
To focus on welfare of children is the responsibility of the commission for children.

- Focuses on the conscientization and awareness building among parents, teachers, and any other groups that deal with children, about the roles and responsibilities of the older people, the legal implications involved in child protection, etc.
- Provide opportunities and platforms for children to grow and freely express themselves, especially for the less privileged classes.
