Pious
Associations
Our parish is blessed with vibrant pious associations that bring together members of all ages to grow in faith, serve the community, and live the Gospel in daily life. These groups – including Mathruvedhi, Pithruvedhi, Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), Cherupushpa Mission League (CML), Holy Childhood, Ageless Inspiration, and Santhome Youth – provide opportunities for spiritual enrichment, fellowship, and charitable works. Through prayer, service, and active participation, each association plays a vital role in strengthening our parish family and witnessing Christ’s love to the world.
Mathruvedhi
A warm, welcoming circle of vibrant mothers, bound closely by faith and devotion, with Mother Mary as our cherished Patron Saint, along with the saintly mothers – St. Monica and St. Gianna, our co-patrons. That, is Santhome Mathruvedhi. More than just a local fellowship, Santhome Mathruvedhi is a thriving community networked with mothers in Syrian Catholic churches across the world through our affiliation with the Global Mathruvedhi.
Pithruvedi
Established in 2014 at the diocesan level, Pithruvedi is a devoted spiritual organization that welcomes every father from each family into its fold. In a world driven by the pace of modern life, Pithruvedi seeks to strengthen families, nurture the Church, and uphold the sacred responsibilities of fatherhood—following the quiet yet powerful example of our Heavenly Father.
Society of
St. Vincent de Paul
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), a global volunteer organization founded in 1833 by Blessed Frederic Ozanam, has a rich history of serving those in need. Inspired by the incredible kindness of St. Vincent de Paul, who dedicated his life to serving the poor centuries before, Frederic gathered a few friends. Together, they formed the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP), a group committed to helping those in need, one person at a time.
Cherupushpa
Mission League
On the 3rd of October, 1947, in Bharananganam, the Cherupushpa Mission League (CML) was officially inaugurated under the guidance of Mar Thomas Tharayil, then Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Kottayam. What started as a modest, local initiative soon blossomed into a vibrant, far-reaching movement - one that continues to inspire and transform the lives of countless children and youth across India.
Holy Childhood
The Holy Childhood, lovingly called Thirubala Sakhyam in Malayalam, is a special fellowship for our youngest members of faith—children who have not yet received their First Holy Communion. From the little ones in Nursery to the bright-eyed students of Grade 4, every child in Catechism at this stage finds a place here.
Ageless Inspiration
Ageless Inspiration is a spiritual and social fellowship group formed under the Pastoral Care for the Aged Ministry at Santhome Church, Hulimavu, Bangalore, under the guidance and patronage of our Parish Priest. It was initiated with a deep desire to create a meaningful platform for the senior members of our parish - those whose life experiences, wisdom, and faith continue to inspire the entire community.
Santhome Youth
In the bustling heart of Santhome, a new energy is taking root. It's an energy that blends youthful enthusiasm with a deep spiritual purpose. We are the Santhome Youth, and we're more than just a group—we're a vibrant and dynamic community. We see ourselves not just as participants, but as leaders, innovators, and servants. Our focus is on spiritual growth, empowering one another to live out our faith with purpose and passion.
