Ministries & Associations

Every member has an altar to serve.

From the youngest catechism student to the grandmother leading the rosary, parish life runs on the pious associations. Find yours.

Children

Sunday School (Catechism)

Faith formation for children from kindergarten through class 12, every Sunday after the Qurbono. Annual exams, competitions, and the diocesan catechism syllabus in Malayalam and English.

Youth

MCYM (Malankara Catholic Youth Movement)

The parish youth wing: retreats, sports, cultural programmes, social outreach, and leadership formation for students and young professionals.

Women

Mathruvedi

The mothers' forum, leading Marian devotions, charity drives, feast-day cooking, and the quiet, indispensable work that holds the parish together.

Men

Pithruvedi

The fathers' forum: parish administration support, festival organisation, fund-raising for charity, and fellowship among the men of the parish.

Liturgy

Choir & Altar Servers

The Qurbono is sung, not said. Our choir carries the ancient melodies every Sunday. Boys and girls train as altar servers (shushrooshis) for the sanctuary.

Neighbourhood

Family Prayer Units (Kudumba Yogam)

The parish is organised into neighbourhood units across Surat (Adajan, Vesu, Pandesara, Katargam and beyond), meeting weekly for prayer and mutual support.

Devotion

Legion of Mary & Prayer Groups

Weekly rosary, home visits to the sick and elderly, and intercessory prayer for the intentions of the parish.

Charity

St. Vincent de Paul / Charity Wing

Discreet help for families in need: medical aid, education support, and emergency assistance, funded by parish offerings.
