The St. Anthony Multipurpose Conference Centre — popularly known as அந்தோனியார் பல்நோக்கு கருத்தரங்கம் — is a dedicated facility for the parish's spiritual, educational, and community programmes. Established to uplift the people of Marianus Nagar, this centre promotes education, vocational training, spiritual growth, and social awareness.
Most people in our parish work in the firecracker and printing industries — to help them explore broader opportunities.
Parish members had access to government employment only until 2002 — this centre was founded to change that.
Due to poverty, many people entered factories without completing their education — coaching and tuition classes aim to reverse this.
Many families live under the burden of daily, weekly, and monthly interest loans — to guide them towards financial self-reliance.
Not a single religious vocation has yet emerged from our parish — this centre is committed to nurturing that calling.
This St. Anthony Multipurpose Conference Centre is the very first step taken to bring about all these changes.
