New Catechists (2022-2023)

I am Derila. I am a first grade CCD teacher. This is my first year as a CCD teacher. I see this opportunity to teach, as a way to deepen my faith and serve God.

Hi, my name is Merlin Joyce and I am a 4th grade CCD teacher. I have been a member of this church for 16 years and I was part of the CCD program as well until I graduated in 12th grade. I decided to teach because I would like to give back to the community as well as play a role in teaching kids specifically about our Syro- Malabar Catholic Church faith.

I recently graduated from Emmanuel College in Boston with a degree in Biology and I hope to attend medical school in the upcoming years. My hobbies include reading, traveling and playing piano!

Hi everyone, my name is Steffi Saju and I will be teaching 9th grade this year alongside Paul uncle! I recently graduated from UMass Amherst with degrees in Biology and Public Health. I have grown up in the church community my whole life and I would love to give back. I’m excited to get to know each of the students and see the journey God takes us on.

I am Smitha. I am a Kindergarten CCD teacher. This is my fourth year of teaching CCD. I love helping little children and supporting their faith, social and personal development.

I live in Walpole with my husband Joji and 2 daughters Mariya & Angela.

I am Vincy. I am one of the 7th grade CCD teachers. This is my 5th year as a CCD teacher. I have been a member of our Syro-Malabar community for 8 years. As a CCD teacher, I am excited and grateful to be a part of our youngsters' faith formation journey.

On the personal side, I am an IT professional working at Commonwealth of Massachusetts and live in Southborough with my husband Jinoy Varghese and 2 daughters - Jeslin and Jenita.
