Pray and reach out to Wayanad Landslide victims
We request our spiritual organisations and all our beloved members to offer all possible support to Wayanad.
The affected areas require a lot of cleaning, clearing and construction to restore it to a normal habitat. It is our duty and responsibility to offer all support possible. We can contribute through arranging food, clothes and raising funds to assist in rebuilding and rehabilitating. Let us join hands to support the rebuilding projects.
We uphold the victims in prayer. We assure our support by being there for them.

HH Baselios Paulose II Charity Food Drive
We had initiated a charity drive in memory of HH Baselios Paulose II last year, which we plan to continue every year. This year, it took a while to initiate the drive but it is now open and will be open only in the month of August. We can bring non-perishable foods. Whatever we collect, it will be handed over to food banks similar to last year. We request all our members to participate, as we know that the food banks are struggling to meet the requirements of people who have nothing. Every effort can nourish those around us. Let us earnestly work together for our society.

Envelopes to be collected (Towards Catholicate Day, Diocesan Day, Sunday School Day, Mission Sunday, Seminary Day)
Please pick up one envelope for each family and bring it back with the contribution towards Catholicate Day $150/-, Diocesan Day $ 120/-, Sunday School $10/-, Mission Sunday $ 10/-, Seminary Day $ 10/- altogether $300/- The collected amount shall be sent to the Headquarters and Diocesan Office before November. Please bring back the envelopes at the earliest. Being dutiful members of the Church, we need to support the church, the diocese, and the organisations.
