An Appeal for Funds

Completion of the Presbytery pending work:

Presbytery work was kept pending as the space was used as a prayer hall during the construction of the church building. Hence it needs to be completed:

  • Raising of ground floor by 1 ft along with door frames, wall, lintels, flooring and painting will cost Rs. 3,75,000/- approximately.
  • Furnishing of 1st floor with parlour, meeting hall, guest room, dining, pantry and kitchen with kitchen-wares, along with electrification, plumbing & painting 1100 sft. Cost around Rs. 16, 50,000/-.

Renovation of Compound wall & paving of compound:

  • Reconstruction of existing compound wall, total area around 600 Rft. will cost around Rs. 15,50,000/-
  • Paving an area 10,000sft- levelling & lowering the ground by 6 to 8 inches, material & labour etc- will cost Rs. 10 lakhs, approximate.

Providing pew-benches with kneelers in the church.

The Church has a capacity to accommodate about 1000 people. The provision for seating in the church is still to be done. Therefore, we have taken up the project for providing pew-benches with kneelers in the church. We required around 120 of them to be able to cover the entire seating area in the church. Out of which we have received so far funding for 56 benches only and remaining 64 benches need to be sponsored. The total cost for these remaining benches would be approximately around Rs.17,28,000/-(Seventeen Lakhs Twenty Eight Thousand only). The cost of one pew bench with kneeler would be Rs.27, 000/-.
The approximate cost would be Rs. 80 lakhs.

The church has no fund to defray this huge cost, therefore we are appealing to the generosity of our parishioners, well-wishers and devotees of Infant Jesus to contribute towards the same. 

It is our earnest appeal to you to become a part of this project by sponsoring one or more pew-benches with kneelers.

The people belonging to various walks of life and faith from different parts of the diocese are visiting this shrine to pray to Infant Jesus. Weekly novena services conducted on Thursday are well attended. You may kindly be assured of our Special prayers offered for the intention of all our donors during these novenas.

We shall acknowledge promptly your valuable contribution with gratitude. May the miraculous Infant Jesus bless you abundantly with peace and happiness which He alone can give!
