An appeal from the parish priest

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

May the grace and peace of God be with you! Loving greetings from Sacred Heart Church, Thennangudi.

By the grace of God, our Sacred Heart parish of Thennangudi, together with its fourteen sub-stations, is joyfully celebrating its twenty-fifth year — the Silver Jubilee.

On this happy occasion we lovingly ask for your valued prayers for the people of our parish and for the works that have been taken up for the growth of the parish.

All these works of God can be completed only through God's grace, through your prayers, and through your generous material support. We therefore lovingly invite everyone to join together in this sacred work by contributing generously, according to your means.

Donations may be handed to the parish priest in person, or sent through the bank account or QR code given below.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus abundantly bless you and your families for your loving prayers and generous help!

With gratitude,
The Parish Priest
