MSFS House Vattiyoorkavu

MSFS Community and St. Francis De Sales Church is our ministry in the Syro Malabar Archdiocese of Changanacherry. The parish is entrusted to the care of MSFS in perpetuity. The pioneer was Fr. Jose Vettukattil. There are 62 families in the Parish. The parish was entrusted to us in 1994. The church was built by the MSFS with the help of the Parishioners in 2003, during the tenure of Fr. Saju villachira. So also the Parish Hall. We have built a large house as a community house. We plan to start some programs or make use of the facilities, which will help us to generate some funds for the maintenance of the community. There is a community with confreres engaged in various ministries.
