Bishop Mar Joseph Pallikaparambil invited us to open a convent at Thodanal to render our service in that backward area. Fr.Varghese Parakulangara, a parishioner of Thodanal donated 50 cents of land for a convent with a Home for the Aged. Accordingly a building was completed under the supervision of Rev. Fr.Mathew Vallopilly the Vicar, with the help of the parishioners and well-wishers of the locality. An eight bedded Old Age Home had also been inbuilt. Bishop Mar Pallickaparambil blessed the House on 20 December 1996. Srs. Sibilina (Sup.), Stella Maris, Therese and Merin were the pioneers. Sisters are actively involved in education, pastoral activities and community development programs. Sr. Stella Maris who was serving as the HM of our Palakkattumala School got transferred as HM to the Infant Jesus LP School with the intention of reforming it into a better state. A Nursery School was also started by the Parish and Sr. Merin Kalapurackal was appointed its teacher. We are in charge of the Parish activities, and are zealous to make regular family visit in the Parish and also in the nearby Dalit colony.
