Vicar's Message​​

Dearly beloved in Christ,
 
I am happy to inform you all that Aluva St. Thomas Marthoma Church is completing 75 years of its existence in 2022. It is appropriate to launch a website to mark the platinum jubilee celebration and to connect with the community. This is an occasion to remember with gratitude the multitude of blessings we as a Parish have been enjoying down the decades. Let this Jubilee be a time to look forward and look backwards.
 
Our Platinum Jubilee motto is Parish Planted by the Riverside“. Starting from small beginnings and completing 75 years has been possible only through God’s grace. Uncountable are the mercies that we have received down the decades. Let us thank God for having guided us so far in our journey of faith and also thank God for the pioneers Who worked hard for the growth of this Parish. Gospel acting is more powerful than the spoken one. We are radiating the love of God by addressing the needs of the less privileged and hence the church becomes more authentic. 
 
We have decided to celebrate the platinum jubilee of the Parish in a befitting manner by taking up a number of humanitarian projects. The presence of the Parish will become meaningful in our community when we respond with our faith to the needs and challenges of our existing context. We are called to become co-workers with God to build God’s reign in the world. May God help our Parish to become ‘a fruitful tree planted by the riverside. May God bless us all.
