It was a moment of great joy to celebrate the first Holy Mass on July 6, 2025 for the faithful in Kaggalipura at the Chapel of St. John’s Hospital, Brigade Meadows. The Mass was attended by over 30 faithful, who came together in unity and devotion. Since that inaugural celebration, we have been blessed to offer the Syro-Malabar Holy Mass every Sunday at the same chapel, providing a consistent opportunity for spiritual nourishment and communal worship.
