As usual parish day of 2009 was celebrated on the last sunday of January (25 Jan). As customary, the celebrations began with Holy Mass (There was only one mass).


Towards the end of the mass this year’s jubilerian-couples were felicitated.


Prof. T.J.Mathew, Thengummoottil delivered the felicitation address.

Our vicar & asst vicar gave away the gifts.

By the time the mass ended,

O.A.Joseph & V.M.Devassy were ready at the counter and members had begun to arrive at the scene.

There was a wide variety of items donated by our members.




Our beloved vicar orally inaugurated the auction and as usual N.J.John was on the podium under the jack fruit tree to conduct the show.

It went on & on & on.

Lunch was served to the children first, then to the rest.

X’mas Food Fest 2008





As usual this year also we celebrated x’mas sale to earn funds for social service. It was a grand success, no doubt! Most of the members who turned up for the first mass on the first Sunday of the liturgical year came down to the ground floor hall and wholeheartedly participated in it. Befittingly it was the first day of Advent, marking the beginning of pre-x’mas lent. Those who came for the second mass also made it a point to come early & joined the function. As the saying goes, SEEING IS BELIEVING. So let us have a partial look at it. Click the Picture below.
