    I am proud and happy to state that I have been a devotee of St. Antony for the past several decades. My mother-in-law and my wife were fervent attenders of St. Antony's devotions which are conducted every Tuesday and I too never miss this devotion. St. Antony has been great saint and several miracles have taken place in response to fervent prayers of the people. PRESENTLY FATHER ONIL AND HIS DEPUTE ES conduct the services ardently every Tuesday in the morning and evening.

    St. Antony's Ashram is housing more than four hundred poor and elderly people and caring for them with love. Well meaning people should come forward and help THIS GREAT CAUSE of helping the poor and the needy

    I appeal to the public to come forward and with helping hands to support this great case of CARING AND SHARING. Kudos to Father Onil and his deputees on theri excellent servics to the poor.
