Testimonials

A great place to conduct training programs as well as meetings. Even though the building is situated at the heart of Kalamassery town, it's very calm and peaceful. There is a church inside the Centre, where Holy Mass is offered. Accomodation facility is also available here on daily rent basis. The place is filled with trees and greenery making it a gorgeous place to visit and conduct meetings!


Christy Tom
