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
Pope Recommends Silence to Allow Reflecting, True Communication

VATICAN CITY: "When messages and information are plentiful, silence becomes essential if we are to distinguish what is important from what is insignificant or secondary."

Benedict XVI offered this reflection in his message for World Communications Day, which he dedicated this year to the theme "Silence and Word: Path of Evangelization."

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.
