Vazhakulam

The monastery and compound of ASJM at Vazhakulam were blessed by His Excellency Bishop Mar George Madathikandathil and His Excellency Bishop Mar Jacob Manathodath on 14 September 2023.  On the same day, we had the  Vestition and the First Profession of two of our sisters, Sr. Mercy Grace Emmanuel, belonging to Kothamangalam Diocese, and Sr. Imelda Francis Emmanuel, belonging to Idukki Diocese. Throughout this time, we have experienced paternal care and occasional visits from His Excellency Mar George Madathikandathil, which has helped us to grow up in the love of Christ. We also have great support from the Parish Priest, CMI Fathers, the religious, and our neighbors.

• We have Holy Mass here every day by CMI Fathers.
• There is Perpetual Adoration with intercessory prayers from morning to evening for the public.
• Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes: people receive many graces by reciting rosaries and prayers in front of the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes.
• Every day except Sunday we provide spiritual sharing services to those in need of counseling. According to the prayer days (15 days in a month) of the sisters, there will be changes in the time of spiritual sharing. For booking, contact our Office number: +91 9072427245.

Along with the community sisters, one batch of formees is also staying here. At the ASJM monastery at Vazhakulam, we arrange classes and other programmes for all the formees. Along with their studies, the formees conduct Solemn Rosary Procession, the Way of the Cross, adoration, and intercession daily.
