The Organization of the Altar Boys
Short History
Following the footsteps of St. John Burkmans, the organization of the Altar Boys has been serving the parish and helping it during the Eucharistic celebrations. During the daily masses, Sundays and Feasts, the altar boys serve the Eucharistic Celebrations and help people pray devoutly. This organization was started in the year 1932 and at present has *** members with Rev. Fr. Vincent Vinod Saldanha being the director and Melroy Furtado being the prefect. Altar boys meet every Saturday at 3 pm.
Present Activities
The altar boys serve the Eucharistic celebrations with great devotion and henceforth serve the parish. Various activities like bible quiz, group games and sports are held every month. The organization conducts their picnic every year. They also organize cricket tournaments at the inter parish level and also at the deanery level. Recently an inter parish cricket tournament was organized on the 25th of January 2009.  Seven teams from different parishes took part in the tournament. The altar boys of Cordel emerged as the winners and the team of Angelore parish bagged the runners up trophy.
