Welcome New Year 2013 With Renewed Commitment To Make A Difference!<br />
As we welcome the New Year, let the warm spirit of Christmas help us look forward to better days in 2013 and beyond.<br />
Just like the wise men sought God, let us all seek God and help lead our children towards God. As members<br />
of our Church, each one of us has a calling from God. The adults, especially the parents and teachers can make a<br />
positive difference in the lives of the children around us. Let us renew this commitment with strong faith in God.<br />
May God grant us the knowledge and wisdom to guide the children in the right path.<br />

Secretary’s Message<br />
My dear fellow-parishioners and friends in Christ,<br />
First I want to thank Almighty God for our parish, our Church leaders, our beloved Achens, our youngsters, our<br />
kids and each and every one of my fellow-parishioners for putting the confidence in me and electing me to serve<br />
as the parish secretary for one more time. The support, guidance and encouragement of our Valliachen, and<br />
Kochachen, gave me the confidence to accept this important responsibility. Thank you for electing an efficient<br />
Treasurer and hard working group of Managing Committee members. I am looking forward to working with them<br />
to serve my parish and I expect your prayers. 2013 MC wishes you all a very prosperous happy and blessed New<br />
Year 2013!<br />
Philip Varghese<br />
