A saloon in the Seminary!

On the feast day of Sts Peter and Paul, the make-shift saloon was blessed and inaugurated by Fr Maliekal, the Rector. This was an initiative of the third course Brothers as a means of collecting some fund for the poor of the locality.  It has been assembled with whatever could be mustered without incurring too much cost in the room under the main water tank in the D block.

 So anyone coming in to the Seminary can avail themselves of a hair cut for a mere Rs 10/- (of course, a tip is always welcome!).

Here's a photo of the three volunteer barbers (L to R): K. Satish, T. Santhosh and V. Subin!

Today the elderly people of the neighbourbhood were given some clothes - an annual feature around christmas time.

To streamline and make sure that only the deserving ones get the clothes [Pancha for men and a saree for women] Fr. K.T. Jose whas forced to invent a criteria for the later batches that kept coming for "their" share: only those without teeth!

Nearly 120 senior citizens had a new pair of clothes within an hour - thanks to the generosity of the benefactors through Fr. K.T. Jose.
