    I appreciate the real sacrifices of the people of Eliarpadavu and Fajir Parish. It was nice to see people's enthusiasm and expression of faith. We are blessed enough to receive the Cross in the season of Lent which multiplied the meaning of celebrations. Thanks to Fr. Rejinald, Fr. Stany, Mr. Victor, Mr. Felix, Parish Pastroal Parishad members, Youth especially Preetam and Joy, Sisters, choir members, altar servers and all the beloved parishioners of Fajir. You have Done it. May God Bless You.
