The Christian community from the southern Indian state of Kerala began worshipping at the former parish hall of the St Paul’s Church in 1996 and has since played an integral role in the life of the faith community.

“The thanksgiving service and the web-based meeting that follows will be a joyous occasion for past and present members to look back and discover how their church came into being

 and how it has changed over the years,” said Rev. Binu John Varghese, vicar of St John’s.

A silver jubilee committee under the leadership of the vicar has been working with Mr Abraham K Thomas and Mr Shabu Varughese as convenors keeping in mind the current Covi-19 pandemic situation.
