2003–2010 During the time of Rev Fr Martin, St. Anne’s Matriculation School was built for poor children, and a multi-purpose hall was constructed.

2010–2012 Rev Fr K.M. Thomas continued his work and during his time a grotto was built in honour of Our Lady of Lourdes.

2012-2014 Rev Fr B.K. Francis Xavier built up the church spiritually. Due to frequent electricity cuts, he bought a generator.
