The Cathedral Church of the Redemption serves the community through its activities in education and health.

The Leprosy patient's Children's Education  Fund (LPCEF)

The LPCEF, a progressive educational project ''to help children first", was begun by the Brotherhood of the Ascended Christ under the initiative of Fr Amos Rajamoney in 1971. In 1974, the Cathedral Church of the Redemption adopted this programme under the banner LPCEF. The project's priority is to channel funds as effectively as it can, for the greatest possible benefit of education of the children of parents suffering from leprosy. With a non-religious focus, only five out of 182 children are Christiasn, the project aims to:

• Provide educational facilities and assistance for the emotionally and financially disadvantaged children of leprosy affected children.
• Assist educational institutions that provide remedial education to students from such families.
• Provide life management counselling and training. Assist in job placement and other supportive services to provide them with more independence in the community.
