The Malayalee Catholics of Ramamurthy Nagar had an intense desire in their hearts; A church to fulfill all their various spiritual needs.This was fulfilled by the inception of the church on 15th August 2008. The foundation stone was laid by His Grace, Rev. Bernard Moras, Archbishop of Bangalore, at 8th cross, M.V Nagar, Ramamurthy Nagar. Our First Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Sonu Kulathur VC was present to lead us in this journey at the temporary structure.

Just like how God was with the Israelites as they traveled from Egypt to Israel, Our Lord was with us in our journey from 2008, along with the intercession of our Mother Mary. As matters were not in our favour, we had to move out, to the premises of St.Anne's Convent. The help provided by the sisters of St.Anne's, Bangalore was really the work of the Lord. With Rev Fr. George Parekandathil VC taking over as our Second Parish Priest. In due course we moved to a rented place in NRI layout. It was a shed used to rear sheep and goats. But our faith in the Lord led us on. With the arrival of our new Shepard Rev. Fr. Shijo Kodakkathanathu VC., Our dream church, started taking shape with the generous contribution of all parishioners, well wishers and benefactors, we were able to purchase this land, and as you can see the church at last. Physically, financially and spiritually and whole hearted effort and above all team work and trust that the Lord will lead us through all our hardships has lead us in the great mission. Various innovative ideas has helped us in raising funds for the church construction:

Not only financially, we had many benefactors who spiritually helped us by their prayers. Our cake sale was one such endeavour. We were able to raise funds for church construction and also help in providing service to 3 children who were suffering from terminal sickness.

2014 â Baby Johnson â Heart disease

2015 â Baby Thanmay â Congenital Liver Disease

2016 â Baby Atifa â Uro genital disease

2017 - Master Sushant - T-Cell Lympho Blastic Leukemia

We plan to continue in this mission of service for which we plan to implement a DePaul scholarship scheme, which would function by us adopting one child's education from each of the numerous parishes who came forward to help us.

âWe see in all motherhood the reflection of a beauty which mirrors the loftiest sentiments of which the human heart is capable: the self-sacrificing totality of love; the strength that is capable of bearing the greatest sorrows; limitless fidelity and tireless devotion to work; the ability to combine penetrating intuition with words of support and encouragementâ (Pope John Paul II).
