’Tulu’ church in Pavoor celebrates centenary
Centenary day celebration on October 24
Holy Cross Church situated in Pavoor near Kasargod has carved a niche to itself by conducting most of its rituals in Tulu language, ever since its inception 100 years ago.
Excluding some rituals where small children and non-Tuluvas take part, rest of the events like masses, meetings, marriages, funerals, weekly masses, annual rituals, festivals and others are conducted in Tulu language and this tradition is being followed in the church from 100 years, said Parish Priest Rev Fr Aloysius Santiago.
Fr Aloysius, who originally hails from Bangalore, is serving in the church from four years.
“It is easily possible to understand the rituals and to understand people’s feelings through local language. This very belief motivated me to learn Tulu and to carry out the church rituals in the language,” he said and added that the works of Rev Fr Alexander Camissa, who came to Mangalore from Italy in 1897, served as a Professor in Jeppu Seminary, and started the church rituals in Tulu, have helped me a lot.
Fr Camissa started Catholic worship centre in Pavoor of Kasargod in 1913.
He dedicated his life for the cause of poor and downtrodden in the place and had a 300 acre land sanctioned by the government for the deprived class. He lived with them and carried out religious rituals in their own language.
After serving for 27 years in Pavoor church, he was transferred in 1940 at the age of 77 years. He left for the heavenly abode on September 4, 1955. His funeral was performed in Jeppu and his mortal remains were buried inside the Pavoor church, Fr Aloysius said.
The church, perhaps is the first religious centre anywhere in the world to carry out its daily rituals in Tulu, Fr Santiyago added. As the unique church has completed 100 years now, preparations are on for the centenary celebrations.
Spiritual discourses are being held from October 14. Family festival was celebrated on October 20. On October 21, special prayers were offered to the departed parish priests and nuns who had served in the church. Martyrs’ Day was observed on October 22.
The annual festival and glory of the cross will be held on October 23. Nuns will be felicitated on the same day. The Centenary Day will be celebrated on October 24.
