Description | : Palakuzhy is a thickly populated
small village in the forest area. It stands 18 Kms away from Vadakkenchery.
Most of the people are Catholics. The Pentecostal sect came to this isolated
area and began their work to influence the Catholic families. Recognizing this
dangerous situation His Excellency Mar Joseph Irimpen, the Bishop of Palakkad
Diocese encouraged us to extend our Evangelization programme to this village.
Accordingly a group of 4 sisters and 2postulants stayed in the Sacristy of the
Parish Church and involved in the Evangelization work among the parishioners
for three months. They are convinced that a convent in Palakkuzhy is a felt
need and consequently a plot was bought. New building for the Convent 'Deepthi
Bhavan' was constructed and blessed on 28.05.1994. To help the poor we started
a Nursary also. Sisters are engaged in
house visiting, assisting in liturgy, Catechism, and other activities of the
Parish Church. The CST Fathers are working as the Parish priest here. As a
result of the combined effort of the CST Fathers and the people in the
locality Government has constructed a
good road to Palakkuzhy and thus the people are saved from the hardship of
travelling they had suffered for a long time. Some land of the convent donated
for the construction of this road. |
