3 years agoLovely church with seats facing around. Love the choir which is from then lovely Tongan community & the Philipino parishioners on alternatesundays. Quiet & peaceful to go and pray or do the way of the cross etc. anytime. Mass is conducted in Malayalam sometimes during Good Friday service etc. They have masses on Sundays at 10.30 am. Children have Sunday school while the parents are at church. Most of the nearby St Mary's school children do the readings and serve the alter.
