You must be aware that in our cemetery bodies are not getting decomposed. We are trying various means to solve this issue. As one of the measures suggested we have planted some flower plants on the tombs. Some parishioners are removing those plants and decorating the graves with flowers and vases etc.  Our humble request for you all not to decorate graves. You can go to pray for the loved ones. Please also avoid plastics and if possible clean the graves of your departed family members without removing the plants.

For the smooth running of our liturgical services & celebrations and to avoid unnecessary distractions we have Appointed volunteers to help us all. During feast days, funerals, Sundays etc. they will be there to help and direct you. You are requested to please listen to them and follow their instructions. Many tourists come during our church services. Sometimes they just enter during the celebration of mass and also receive communion which is very disturbing. Hoping that you all will cooperate with us and follow the instructions given by the Volunteers

 

Due to rain prayers for your  departed family members for months mind /  death anniversary  will be said in front of the altar in the cemetery and not near the grave. kindly take note of this. 

Sneha cares   organization  are taking care  of HIV affected children. To support their work  they have brought candles for sale. We request you to help this organization and buy the candles made by the children.
