our diocese has computerized the records of its entire 107 parishes as part of its silver jubilee celebration.

With computers installed in every parish, the Thamarassery diocese wants to harness "the advantages of digital age in parish administration,” says Father James Kuzhimattam, the head of the diocesan communication department.

Philip Nedumpuram, a teacher in the diocese told ucanews.com that the computerization has made it much easier to obtain certificates or parish information.

Father Kurian Thannicakal, the assistant vicar of St. Antony’s Forane parish, which numbers 800 families, agreed.

“We no longer need to scan dusty old registers to find the details of a parish member. We just enter his name and we can obtain all the information, including the person’s blood group,” the priest said.

“With the click of a mouse I can find out who are all celebrating their birthday, wedding anniversary on a specific day in my parish,” Father Thannicakal enthused.

“Previously if we wanted to issue a marriage certificate, we had to thumb through all the pages of the register,” he explained.

Father Kuzhimattom said that all priests in the diocese had taken part in two training sessions and a third one is being planned.

In the near future all the parishes will be connected through the internet, he said.

Father Jose Manimala Tharappel, an elderly priest, said he finds “nothing wrong” with computers but the “old system” of books was more stable.

“Now, if the computer fails, everything has to wait until it is repaired,” he warned.

Thamarassery diocese was created on April 28, 1986 from the Tellicherry diocese.

Catholic students of St. Antony’s Church, Paroppady on June 12-2011 distributed books to over 600 students of poor families, mostly belonging to other religions.

The parish belongs to Thamarassery diocese.

Parish priest Father Jose Manimalatharappil asked students to donate their old textbooks to help poor children when the academic year opened June 1.

“Within a week we collected books worth 100,000 rupees (US$ 2, 273),” said the priest.

Local legislator A. Pradeepkumar, who opened the function, hailed the parish move as a good way to educate students about their responsibility to help the poor.

Ponnamm, a Hindu and mother of a second grader who received the books, said the Church’s gesture would help her to achieve her dream of giving good education to her children.
