Sanjoe Capuchin Ashram, Parasala, fulfilled a long-cherished dream of the Capuchins to establish an Ashram in the Diocese of Parasala within the Syro-Malankara diocese. This initiative followed the relinquishment of the friary, parish, and school in Balaramapuram. Responding to the invitation from His Excellency Thomas Mar Eusebius, the Bishop of Parasala, we chose to build an Ashram in Aruvikkuzhy.

We had the common monthly recollection in five zones. It went on very well. One zone had the Online Program and another will have it on the next week.

It was very fraternal and enriching experience for every friar. We had the reflection hour on the Encyclical Fratelli Tutti, also the discussion and the sharing on it. Common prayer hours, recreation and meals together, all the more made it memorable.

Congratulations Dear Brothers:
