             The Class Rooms in the BEM UP School at Bilathikulam, where regular Sunday Divine service is being conducted, have been renovated with the combined effort of the Cathedral Pastorate Committee, the School Officials and the residents in the area. An elevated platform is built to facilitate the Altar. The whole section which houses three classes has been laid with tiles. The exterior has also been beautified with interlocking tiles.
