Welcome Greetings

A Warm Welcome from the Parish Vicar

Dear beloved parishioners and dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

With great joy and gratitude to God, I warmly welcome you to the official website of Santa Cruz Church, Kochi. Our parish stands as a living testimony of faith, devotion, and God’s abiding presence among His people. First built in 1815 and later beautifully developed into its present form in 1964, Santa Cruz Church has been a spiritual home for generations, nurturing countless lives through prayer and hope.

Our church is lovingly dedicated to Holy Cross, and our hearts beat with deep devotion to our beloved Patron, the Infant Jesus. Week after week, especially during the Novena of the Infant Jesus every Friday morning and evening, we witness the powerful love and mercy of God. Many who come seeking blessings, comfort, and healing experience miracles—miracles of faith, peace, strength, and renewed hope.

Recognising that many are unable to attend the Friday novena due to various physical limitations, this website is a humble mission of our parish—to reach the novena, prayers, and blessings of the Infant Jesus to every heart, wherever you may be. Through this platform, we wish to remain united as one faith family, sharing prayer, devotion, and trust in God’s mercy.

I warmly invite all of you to participate in the Friday Novena, either by being present in the church or by joining us through this website. May the Infant Jesus bless your intentions, strengthen your faith, and fill your lives with peace, hope, and joy.

Let us continue this beautiful journey of faith together, strengthened by prayer and guided by God’s grace.

With prayers and blessings,
Rev. Fr. Xavier Chirammel
Parish Vicar
Santa Cruz Church, Perumpadappu
