PARISH SYNOD
Pope Francis has declared an extraordinary Synod for the entire Church. In preparation for that event, Pope Francis has invited the entire Church to start listening to the faithful from the grass-root level. We have uploaded a questionnaire given to us from our Vicariate, in google form on our website. Request you to take this opportunity to give constructive suggestions on how the Church is to be loved and respected in the New World.

Extraordinary Lay Ministers of Holy Communion
Induction of the proposed Extraordinary Lay Ministers of Holy Communion, which was delayed for some time, will take place on Tuesday, the 25th of January during the 7.00 PM Mass. We will not have the Holy Eucharistic Adoration on that day.
Regarding Sunday obligation: If you miss obligatory mass / confession due to no fault of yours, that is forced by extraordinary circumstances or non-availability of priests, you are not obliged.” God of mercy understands you.
Let us continue to pray ardently in the privacy of our families.
