OUTREACH RETREAT AT BOLA
The outreach retreat was conducted at Bola Parish, dedicated to the famous Saint, St. Lawrence. The parish Church is situated among the lush green hills of Manjanady area, almost 17 Kms away from Thokkottu. The winding hill road, leading to the parish, gives an opportunity for a relaxed driving. This parish is rather recently built, formed only in 2006. This is also a small parish with about 100 families, and a Catholic population of about 450 people. Most of the Catholics are simple, village, farmers and hence the parish is economically yet to develop. The Parish Priest, Fr. Fredrick Correa, has been working very hard and trying his best to build a good, new, and bigger Parish church building.
