Per Father Steve: All during the month of October, I will have the tabernacle moved just below the feet of Jesus in the Emmaus woodwork. I ask for your feedback 1) to keep the tabernacle in its original space or 2) have the tabernacle permanently moved into the main church. Please click on "Moving the Tabernacle" above to use The Survey Monkey link, or use the QR Code. Responses must be received by October 31st. We will then publicize our results and decide accordingly. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. May God guide your decision as you prayerfully reflect on it.

This photo is from the recent floods (Friday, Aug 7) in Fr Aby's home state of Kerala. Even the bishop's house wasn't spared. In the photo you see the bishop (gray beard ) wading out with his priests to meet his flock who are outside the walls. On 7 August 2020, due to heavy rainfall in the monsoon season, severe floods affected Kerala, India. The floods resulted in the death of at least 22 people. Heavy rains in Idukki have caused severe landslide in Munnar in which at least 43 people died and nearly 20 were reported missing. On the same day, the Air India Express Flight 1344 carrying 191 people crashed in Kerala, resulting in the death of 18 people and the wounding of several others. This was because the runway of Calicut airport was flooded and visibility was less because of heavy rain. On 9 August 2020, 49 people died during a landslide at a tea plantation in Rajamala. Prayers for the nation of Kerala!
