Embedded Files
Welcome to the September Edition,
With more parishioners returning to church, you can feel a sense of community revival through the feast day photos in this edition. The grotto of Mother Mary was cleaned and redecorated too. As we prepare to take the 8 day Lent in September, Stephen Achan shares the history behind this Eastern Catholic tradition.
This year, we are heading back to church for in-person CCD classes. Read about the re-opening plan and other CCD updates here. Our in-house editors bring to you a pandemic travel story about a trip to Kerala and another about the fascinating quality of the lonely mind. If you are craving for a traditional dish, we have a tried and tested recipe for Pineapple Pachadi.
As you get ready to send your children back to schools/colleges, we wish you all the best for new beginnings and new memories!
