MISSION STATEMENT

 This is a Catholic faith community full of vigor, vitality, enthusiasm manifested through spiritual and enjoyable activities, programs, and participation. Everyone who comes to this faith community enjoys the warmth and fellowship, the faith and friendship. Being their Pastor, I have enjoyed this atmosphere throughout the whole time that I have spent with them. This website is an attempt of our vibrant youth to communicate the radiant faith and activities of this faith community to the entire cyber world. New Jersey is really blessed with the same beauty of Kerala from where this faith community originated and migrated I am sure that this will pave the way for the spiritual, mental and cultural growth of our Indian American youth. God bless you all.
