Coppell Church-- A dream കം True

Dear Readers,


It's so sad to see the current incidents in our church. Church was growing fast under Saji Achen , harmony and unity was the top most priority in the past but all are bit shaken now. I am not blaming anybody here for the current incidents but devil is working so hard in our community. These devil forces were silent till the dream comes true but slowly picking up strength. I am writing this to promote love, peace and unity in our community.

Many of you seen how much sufferings and hard works were put for years initially by initially by Fr. John Melepuram and then by Fr.Zacharias and then by Fr. Saji on this dream church.

All major steps were done by the blessings of our bishop and we have taken each & every step as a community.

• Bishop allowed us to start an outstation church/mass in DFW
• Bishop allowed us to look for a property in central location where everybody can be come easily.
• Bishop allowed us to lease a facility and recognized as a mission.
• Bishop also appointed a priest who was supposed to go to a different church in America.
• Bishop allowed Irving ward to be part of this community.
• Bishop gave good share of money from the mother church.

All these things are known to many who worked in past to form this community. Please don't forget the way we all come here and how much sacrifices were put behind this church formation.

We need more prayers during the lent season and please stop bad mouthing about our friends and relatives who may have put lots of efforts and hard work on building this community. Please stop bad mouthing about others and work for the community. We expressed our opinion in several forums on how the church altar should look like.

We need to accept the decision by our Bishop and Vicar together takes. Our parents and grant parents show the way of obeying and listening our Bishop, vicar and hierarchy. Catholic churches have been working for the catholic people and they have taken several decisions in the past. I am not here to judge whether all their decisions were bad or good. It's better be a protestant church if we cannot obey bishop or hierarchy. Please identify those who create issues and enmity in our community and stop them from spoiling this community.

Do you want to see our church in foreclosure? Do you all want to go back either to Garland Church or do you want to go to LATIN CHURCHES? If you never wanted a community of our own why did you all give your hard earned $$ for buying this church?

We can fight and may achieve the cross which we want but what we going to gain finally if we cannot find Jesus in the cross? Please work for the community as one heart, and work for the future of our kids and for the kids to be born. Priests come and go but community stays here for ever. We need to help each other and we will see each other tomorrow.

Please remember, we are one family where there is no Thrissur, Ernakulam or Kottayam. We are ONE community under St.Alphonsa. It will be end of this beautiful community if you promote more regionalism or fight in the name of the cross here in a very small community. Let us pray to forgive for insulting our Bishop and our Vicar in anyway at church.

Please don't post any abusing comments about any family or friends here. Please raise our thoughts and suggestions in a peaceful manner then threatening and abusing our family members.

This is not an abusing blog but to promote our friendship and harmony in our community. Please discourage those who publicly abuse others in the church or outside. Let us collaborate for the best of our community and stay focused for the growth this church. Let us forgive and forget and work for the good of this community. Please post positive comments and suggestions for the good of the church and community.


Thank You for reading this blog and may you are all blessed by St.Alphonsa.
