All most all these people profess Christianity. Mr. Anthony Cruz provided them place for their
weekly prayers. They have very special devotion to Our Lady and they would gather in full
strength on every Sunday evening for Rosary prayer. Later they built a small Grotto in honour
of our Lady at the back yard of Anthony Cruz house.
Mr. Anthony Cruz was invited to participate in an Inter-Religious dialogue at Hyderabad in 2012. The
Inter-Religious dialogue was organised by Moviemento San Francesco Savario (MSFS), Italy. There in
an informal discussion with few friends, MSFS gave an idea to Fr. Leonard Fernando SJ and Cruz to
start a Society. After their return from Hyderabad, Mr. Anthony Cruz discussed with his friends
of registering a Society. A group of like minded people came together. Maitreya Xavier
Charitable Society was registered in February, 2014 under the Registration of Society Act
1680. Its members are from Delhi, Haryana, Telengana, Jharkhand, Kerala, Maharashtra,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. Fr. Leonard Fernando played a pivotal role in
preparing the Aims and objectives of the Society. He is now the Spiritual Director of the
Society.
