Sacraments & parish services

Holy Baptism

Contact the parish office at least two weeks in advance. Parents and godparents meet the parish priest for a short preparation. Baptisms are usually celebrated after Sunday Qurbono.

Confession (Reconciliation)

Available before Sunday Qurbono, during First Friday adoration, and any time by appointment with the parish priest.

Holy Matrimony

Couples should contact the parish office at least three months before the intended date for marriage preparation, banns, and paperwork, especially for marriages celebrated in home parishes in Kerala, which need documents from here.

Anointing of the Sick & house blessings

The parish priest visits homes and hospitals for prayer, anointing, and Holy Communion for the sick. Call the office any time; illness does not keep office hours.

Funerals

In the sorrow of a death, call the parish priest directly. The parish will help coordinate the funeral liturgy and stand with your family in prayer.

“Let my prayer rise before You like incense.”
Psalm 141:2
