History

Our CCD since 2019

Our Mission CCD was established by our then Spiritual Leader and Vicar Fr. Abraham Kalarickal in coordination with the newly appointed Director of Religious Education (DRE) Mr. Prince Jose Kannothara in the year 2019.

The Mission CCD was inaugurated on December 25 with our students presenting a wonderful Nativity drama. The programme was coordinated by parish council member Mrs. Alice Chamakalayil along with volunteer teachers Mrs. Mini Sabu Parathathu, Bindu Denny Kizhakeparambil, Ms. Ann Maria Aduparayil and Ms. Kezia John Karukaparambil, with many parent volunteers.

From January 2020 classes were held in person in the church classrooms, moving to Zoom during the Covid lockdown. Today we have 20-21 active students from 1st to 8th grade.
