Onam Fest – 21st September, 2025

A Celebration of Unity and Tradition

This year’s Onam celebration, was truly a day to remember! With over 250 parishioners coming together, the festival was marked by joy, togetherness, and gratitude for the blessings of our community life.

A Day of Festive Joy

The morning began at 10:30 a.m. with warm welcomes, traditional snacks, and chai that set the tone for the day. The dignified lamp-lighting ceremony followed, symbolizing blessings and unity. A graceful prayer dance and the grand entrance of Mahabali brought Kerala’s rich cultural heritage beautifully to life.

The celebration continued with exciting games like Kai Koti Kali, Musical Chairs, and multiple rounds of Lellam that had both children and adults participating with laughter and cheer.

No Onam is complete without the traditional Onam Sadhya, and this year’s feast was no exception. Served on banana leaves, the flavors, authenticity, and fellowship around the meal made it one of the highlights of the day.

Gratitude to Our Volunteers

Behind the success of this celebration was the dedication of our parishioners who came forward to plan, prepare, and coordinate. From arranging the floral pookalam to organizing games, managing the program flow, and preparing the feast, every detail was a labor of love. A special word of thanks to all who worked quietly behind the scenes to make the day such a joyful experience for everyone.

As one community member beautifully shared:

“The Onam Fest was organised very very well. Kudos to the organising committee!”

A True Spirit of Community

The photo booth buzzed with happy faces, the entertainment kept spirits high, and the fellowship was heartwarming. More than the cultural festivities, what stood out was the sense of unity and joy as our church family came together to celebrate.

We extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and participated. Your presence and enthusiasm truly made this Onam memorable.

Here’s to many more celebrations of culture, faith, and togetherness in the future.
