Description | : The
parishioners of Ponnani informed their vicar Rev. Fr. Paul Payyappilly that it
is necessary to begin a convent and an English Medium school in that locality. They
understood that it is a place where the number of Christians were less and a convent
is necessary to keep the church and its belongings neatly and properly. They
convinced their desire to Rt. Rev. Mar Joseph Kundukulam and he wholeheartedly
supported their desire and requested Rev. Sr. Felicita, Provincial Superior, to
begin a convent there. Thus FCC superiors decided to start a mission station at
Ponnani where the Muslims play an important role. A house near the church was
got ready for the sisters and on 22nd Dec. 1974 Mar Joseph
Kundukulam Bishop of Thrissur blessed the convent in the name of Vijaya Matha. The
sisters are involving in various parish activities such as sacristarian, faith
formation, house visiting etc. The
English Medium school which we started along with Vijaya Matha convent raised
in to the position of a high school later and on 31st Aug 2010 it became a higher secondary school.
Clare
home Homoeo clinic was established in the year 1982 and now it is a centre of
relief for the people who are coming there for treatment. |
