Religious institutions including temples, gurudwaras, masjids have always been a continuous source for people to find solace and peace amidst their daily chores. Mary’s church is a place where the devotees could get to know various unexplored aspects of life, leaving aside the material world for a bit. And also gives them ample time to introspect and incorporate certain missing ingredients, which
could make their life more spicier. The church established in the name of mother Mary has been an epitome of spirituality, love, devotion and unity. Also a fact stands vindicated that – no sincere prayers and wishes go unanswered. There is a VICAR (The Priest), altar boys, managing committee, youth movement mainly to look into and carry out necessary religious activities. Holy services are carried out every Fridays (6-7pm), Saturday(6:30pm-7:30pm) and Sundays (7:00-11:00am). Services for various religious occasions are also duely performed. There are also the Sunday school (Bible class for children), Youth wing (MGOCSM) and the Marta Mariya samajam (for women) which functions in tandem with the parish.
