The Infant Jesus Prayer Unit was officially formed in August 2006, at Rosely & Johnson Job's house. During that period, Rev. Fr. Kuriakose Vadana was our Achan. In Achan's leadership, several families joined the first gathering. We named our prayer unit as "Infant Jesus" on that day and selected Joboy Jacob as President and Suni John as Secretary. Since that day, we have been hosting regular monthly prayer meetings. During the initial few years, we had a total of 11 families. Later on, some families had to relocate but new families joined our group. Currently the Infant Jesus unit has a total of 16 families. The current President is Sunny John and secretary is Nelly Thomas.
The Sacred Heart Prayer Unit is one of the oldest family units in our community. Its amongst the earliest that was setup and was initially called the Don Bosco prayer unit. However, following a more formal realignment and reorganization, the prayer unit and its initial 7 families were called the "Sacred Heart" unit. The prayer unit gathered first at Mary and Mathew Thomas's house where Mathew Thomas and Jose Puthenpurackal were elected as the first President and Secretary respectively.
Like all family units, the Sacred Heart unit has been pretty involved in the community. The unit has an annual collection drive which is used to sponsor a charity of choice in Kerala.
Over the years with new additions to our community, the Sacred Heart Family unit has grown to include over 17 families. The current unit President is Rexy Joseph and secretary is Divya Milton.
