The Sunday school program started in our church in the year 2002 with 15 students. Since then the program has evolved and the number of students grew from 15 to 125.

We also have our youth, Mr. Joby Joseph, Ms. Binu Mathew, Ms. Sherin Ipe and Ms. Sharon Justine who help the teachers with various other activities. We follow the Catechetical textbook series of the Syro-Malabar Church called “On the Path of Salvation”.

The classes are for one hour which is conducted after the Holy Mass. We conduct two exams, Christmas and final, every year. Merit and attendance awards are given to the children who excelled for the final exam during the annual day celebrations. Annual competitions on Christian based cultural items are also conducted every year for which children will be rewarded for their performance.

Dance School

Dance is the poetry that the body speaks without words. It is as universal an art form as is music and is as universal in its ability to appeal. But while the poetry and grace of the dance performer are real, the seeming effortlessness of the dancer is an illusion. What seems easy and effortless is the result of great training and discipline.
Dance classes are conducted after the Sunday School session. Now we have two grades getting individual attention from the respective teachers.
