Friars Featured on “Oru Chiri Iru Chiri Bumper Chiri”

Franciscan Values Shared Through Modern Media and Creativity

Karukutty : The Our participation in the popular television programme “Oru Chiri Iru Chiri Bumper Chiri” was a memorable and enriching experience. This opportunity came as a result of the remarkable response received by an Easter Day Instagram reel created by our friars.
The reel gained extraordinary attention, reaching 2.7 million views within a single day, and attracted widespread appreciation from viewers across different regions. The overwhelming success of this creative initiative led to an invitation from Mazhavil Manorama to participate in the programme.

This achievement reflects how Franciscan values can be communicated effectively through creativity, talent, and modern media platforms. Through their engaging content and artistic expression, our friars continue to share the Franciscan spirit with a wider audience, extending its reach far beyond traditional boundaries.

We express our sincere gratitude to Fr. Martin Chittinappilly for his innovative vision, creative content, and outstanding performances on social media, particularly through the popular initiative Kuruppum Kathanarum. His dedication has opened new avenues for evangelization and has helped present Franciscan values in a manner that resonates with contemporary audiences.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the Provincial and his Definitory for their unwavering encouragement and support. Their openness to innovative forms of ministry has enabled this new platform of evangelization, allowing the Franciscan message of joy, fraternity, and service to reach people throughout the world.

This milestone stands as a testimony to the power of creativity in ministry and to the many possibilities that modern media offers for proclaiming the Gospel and promoting Franciscan values in today’s society.
