for both buildings

Proposed Church Complex - Features Actual design and plan to be finalised by

professional Architects based on our inputs The focus should be on utility rather than on

show off We should go for a landmark building

preferably Shankar design or by Nirmiti Kendra

References: St. Peters Jacobite Church, Tvm St. Geoge Orthodox Church, Palarivattom Both churches don’t have basement parking

Proposed Church Complex

Remember Opposition comes from people who

do not want any change We need to convince people about

the need for a bigger church We owe it to the next generation If Parumala Palli can be rebuilt, we

can also do this

Proposed Church Complex

Points for Discussion Alternate arrangements for Holy

Qurbana & other services during construction time

Alternate arrangements for stay of Vicar & Sextons
