Welcome to Verapoly...

Archdiocese of Verapoly, once known as "Malabar Vicariate" is one of the oldest Archdioceses of India. "Verapolis" which means "True City", takes its name from the Island of Verapoly, the oldest seat of Carmelite Missionaries in India.

From Vatican

Cross Not Optional, Says Benedict XVI.

The Pope said this to the thousands of people gathered in the courtyard of the papal summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome. Referring to the Gospel passage Mt 16, 13-20, the Holy Father reflected on the faith of Peter, which is shown to be "still immature and too much influenced by the 'mentality of this world."

Religious
Ever thought of becoming a priest?

A vocation to the priesthood is countercultural. First of all, it is a response to the love of God in one's life. Further, it is a life of self-sacrifice that is aimed at restoring and recovering a love of God in the world.
