No matter how many centuries pass, we will always hold strong to our roots and values.
Regularly attending masses and actively participating in missionary activities form a major part of our life. Socializing and entertainment are our favourites. We often have a good time with our close friends and family over a brunch or dinner.
We are proud to say that we Christians are a close knit community. Our devotion towards our faith unites us all. Attending the Sunday Mass is a relief from the hustle of life and we take this opportunity not only to pray and offer help to the needy; but also to establish contacts and maintain friendly relationships.
Life and religion are not two separate entities for us, as we love the life we live and live the life we love!

Christianity is well known for its interesting history. We are very much proud of our glorious past and our 'steeped in tradition' roots. Christianity was founded in the 1st century in the Levant region of the Middle East (modern Israel and Palestine) by the followers of Jesus of Nazareth who they believed to be the Christ or chosen one of God. Since then our brotherhood has grown in size and many willingly joined to follow Our Father over the centuries.
How we grew...With the help of a few avid believers Christianity spread initially from Jerusalem throughout the Near East, into places such as Syria, Assyria, Mesopotamia, Phoenicia, Asia Minor, Jordan, and Egypt. In the 4th century it was successively adopted as the state religion by Armenia in 301, Georgia in 319, Aksumite Empire in 325, and then the Roman Empire in 380. It became common to all of Europe in the Middle Ages and expanded throughout the world during Europe's Age of Exploration from the Renaissance onwards to become the world's largest religion. Ever since then there has been no turning back. As the time grows. Our faith grows...
