Kerala church installs open gym to promote fitness among parishioners

St. Joseph’s Church in Kuriachira, Thrissur, has set up an open gym on its premises to encourage parishioners of all ages to exercise.

The initiative was inspired by the 51-year fitness routine of the church’s vicar, Fr. Frederick Eluvathingal.

The modest facility features parallel bars and a basketball hoop, serving altar boys, parents, and senior citizens.
