Vettikattiri
- Little Flower Mission Seminary
Our dream to have a Mission
House and a transit house in Kerala came true on 3rd October 2001 when we bought
seven and half acres of land under the leadership of Rev. Fr. John Vadakkel from
Mr. Kuruvila Thoomkuzhy at Vettikkattiri . After purchasing the land Rev. Fr.
John Vadakkel was entrusted with the responsibility to begin an Ashram there,
and Fr. John Vadakkel along with a helper started to stay in a rented house at
Cheruthuruthi on 15th October 2001, meanwhile a temporary shed was built in our
land and was blessed by Very Rev. Fr. Robert Kalaran the then Superior General,
on 24th December 2001 and Fr. John Vadakkel was appointed the first superior of
the Ashram.
On 12th September 2002 the foundation stone for the Mission House and
seminary was blessed by Rev. Fr. George Aranchery. The new building was blessed
by Very Rev.Fr. John Olickal the then Provincial Superior on 3rd June 2003, and
on the same day the formation for the first year Minor Seminarians was started
for the first batch and Fr. Mathew Puthenpura was appointed the first Rector.
On 21st September, 2003 the chapel (Ground floor) and the Mission House was officially
blessed by Archbishop Most. Rev. Jacob Thoomkuzhy Recruitment and the initial
year of Minor Seminary formation are done here. The Fathers render pastoral services
also to the neighbouring parishes.
