Ollur Church Renovated Cemetery Church


The front facade of Ollur Cemetery Church is renovated to its old glory. The cement plastering has been redone where it had fallen apart during the last decade. A fresh coat of paint is given. A beautiful Vinyl picture is fixed on the centre window above the main entrance door on the West. The St. Raphael's Statue looks very beautiful with the colurful paint which highlights the Dress and accessories of both St. Raphael and Tobiyas. The Cemetery Church which is built in the Portuguese style resembling the popular churches in Goa is a great asset to the Catholic Community of Chinna Roma. We hope the Main Church which also is an architectural marvel both inside and
outside will remain like that for many more years to come.

St. Raphael's Feast or Malakayude Perunnal is on October 23 and 24th every year. This is the 176th year and preparations are in full swing. The 9 Tuesdays Novena is attended by thousands. 1st October will see the Perunnal fever gripping everywhere. It is a year long waiting for all from ollur and especially those residing outside Ollur.
