Mary Giri Philosophical Institute, Trivendrum

Mary Giri is in the heart of the city of Trivandrum. This friary is a formation house. There is also an English Medium school run by the friars.....it is also know for pastoral ministry. There are four small parishes which are taken care of by the friars. The Bishop has assigned them to our care. All four pastors stay in the friary and minister the parishes....it is well planned out. 
 There are 8 friars who live in the community. Many other friars and guests who come as visiting professors....all these are friars of the community....all of them are young except Br. George who worked in Prem Jyoti for almost 25 years....he is now back to the Province.....he is a jovial man and keeping the community happy with his hilarious nature...
