Fr. (Dr.) Fredy Eluvathingal
In April 2018, Fr Fredy Eluvathingal was appointed as the second vicar of the parish, bringing with him a deep commitment to spiritual growth and community development. Under his leadership, the parish flourished both spiritually and physically, fostering a strong sense of faith and unity among its members.
A significant milestone in the parish’s history took place on 23 September 2022, when the foundation stone for a new church was laid at 525-531 Frankston-Dandenong Road, Dandenong South. This marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter, reflecting the growing needs of the congregation and the vision for an expanded place of worship.
To further strengthen the faith community, the parish established prayer wards across 24 units, providing a structured network for communal prayer and fellowship. Additionally, weekly Holy Qurbana was conducted at various local centres, ensuring that parishioners had regular opportunities to participate in the sacred liturgy and deepen their spiritual lives.
Fr Fredy’s dedication and leadership were instrumental in the parish’s development during his tenure. After five years of devoted service, he was transferred back to Kerala on 31 May 2023, leaving behind a legacy of faith, growth, and community spirit.
