Dear Brothers & Sisters in Norway,

Despite being residents of Norway for a very long time, the Malayalee community has preserved its cultural identity in completeness. It brings me great pleasure to see its members live together like a family in true spirit of brotherhood, as model for others to follow. For this, my appreciation and prayers will always be with you.

The journey of life is fraught with momentary ups and downs – be it in education, career or relationships. The happiness earned from material successes can nevertheless be lost when they are gone. But the love of people earned by virtue of one’s character is immortal. You grow more in stature in people’s hearts as you lose more of yourself in your own. Christmas is a celebration of that aspect of one’s character that embodies the virtue of love for one another. I wish you a Merry Christmas and the year ahead with spiritual fulfillment, with health & well-being to enjoy it.

At 10,30 am on January 21st, 2012 at Eikeli Katolske kirke,Veståsen 18, 1362 Hosle , we will celebrate a Perunal Quabana commemorating the 2nd anniversary of our celebration of The Malayalam Holy Qurbana in Norway. I take this opportunity to express gratitude for your goodwill and support during the last 2 years. Following the Qurbana, I earnestly and whole heartedly invite you all for Sneha Virunnu.

With Prayers

Fr.Eldhose Vattaparambil

The first Annual Feast (Perunnal) was organized in January 2011 with holy mass followed by fun activities inlcuding traditional kerala leilam vili.
