This
property was bought in the town with the intention of starting a social centre
and also to start a parish. Later the plans got changed and the province
decided to start a home for the aged in 2004. It worked for about 4 years and
later the provinces decided to convert into a home for the boys. There have
been many boys who have profited from this centre. The children who come here
from broken and poor families. The friars do everything for the children
without charging them. There are generous people from all section of the
society. The benefactors provide things for the running of the centre. Br. Reji
was the pioneer of the boys home. He along with the others faced many difficulties and problems but stood their ground and provided a good home for
the poor and unfortunate boys. Today there are 18 boys from the age of 10 to
17. It is recognized and supported by the government. There are regular visits
by the government officials.
