Catholic Women’s League (Rosary Group)
History
The Catholic Women’s League Holy Family church unit has been in existence in our parish for almost five years. The unit originally started in the year 2014, when Rev. Fr. Chinnappa was the parish priest, with some like-minded women in the parish, who had the desire to pray the rosary in the grotto during the entire month of May and later continued to spread the devotion to rosary throughout the year. Rev. Fr. Thomiar (parish priest 2014 -2015) nurtured their growth, and Rev. Fr. Maria Selvan (parish priest 2015 -2016) encouraged them. Rev. Fr. Amarnath Dinesh Roy, who took charge of the parish in 2016, guided them to be structured and organized as an association names Catholic Women’s League, which is one of the recognized associations in the archdiocese of Bangalore.
Meetings
Monthly meetings are held on every Thursday of the week at 5.p.m in the Catholic Women’s League room situated at the ground floor of the Parish hall. The League comprises over 30 active members, of which 20 to 25 members attend the meetings regularly. Members meet every week to pray, organise, and discuss their progress, issues and concerns regarding their service and activities in the parish.
