Aug 31:St Jude Church and Shrine of Pakshikere is popularly known for the devotion of St. Jude the apostle of Christ, the great wonder worker. For the past many years so many devotees come here and experience the healing touch of Jesus Christ. They have received many favours through the intercession of St Jude. People from abroad also visit this shrine. Among many good works done here, educating the poor boys from the villages is the one of the very important works done here.

It’s started in a very small beginning by Rev Fr. Basil Vas, then the Parish Priest, he brought a few boys from the broken families and from poor family background and kept them with him in a small parish house as the little one of Jesus.. Bishop of Mangalore diocese personally visited the house and convinced about the care taken by him and gave permission to continue in a big number.

Gradually as the number increased Rev Fr. Alban D’Souza put up a new building and named it as Ashray. Now at present we have 21 boys staying in this loving home ‘Ashray’ and going to our primary school for their education. Two are going for P.U.C studies. A warden is appointed to take care of them and to be with them always.
