We envision vibrant parishes where every person encounters God in prayer, community, and service. Families and individuals flourish in faith, guided by the sacraments and Gospel. Our witness inspires hope, unity, and compassion, building communities that reflect Christ’s love in everyday life.
We guide every parishioner to grow in faith, hope, and love. Through prayer, sacraments, and service, we empower families and communities to live the Gospel actively. We commit to nurturing spiritual formation, supporting discipleship, and fostering a welcoming, Christ-centered environment for all.
We uphold faith, compassion, and integrity as the foundation of parish life. Rooted in the Gospel, we welcome every person with respect and dignity, seeing diversity as God’s gift. Through service and fellowship, we nurture unity and love, striving always to live as faithful witnesses of Christ.
In 2005, Fr. Lourdusamy, then Parish Priest of Kanhei Mission, foresaw the rapid urbanisation of Sector 55, Gurgaon. Recognizing the growing Catholic population and anticipating future spiritual needs, he took the initiative to purchase a plot of land for a church.
His farsighted effort marked the beginning of what would later become Holy Name Church.
By 2009, a considerable number of Catholic families had settled in the Sector 55 area. Their growing spiritual needs highlighted the importance of establishing a dedicated parish.
In 2010, Archbishop Vincent M. Concessao, sharing the vision initiated in 2005, appointed Fr. Victor Emmanuel to oversee:
The construction of the church
The organisation and formation of the new parish community
Fr. Victor began the groundwork immediately.
On 14 August 2011, the church was solemnly inaugurated by Archbishop Vincent M. Concessao and dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, officially establishing the parish.
The initial parish community included:
Around 200 Catholic families from diverse cultural backgrounds
Nearly 2,000 domestic workers from the Chhotanagpur tribal belt, who enriched the parish with their strong faith and cultural identity
Under Fr. Victor Emmanuel, the parish began its formal journey.
By 2015, Holy Name Church had become a spiritually active parish under the pastoral guidance of the priests who served over the years.
The parish grew through:
Catechism programs
Youth and children’s ministries
Choirs and liturgical groups
Small Christian Communities (SCCs)
Charitable and social outreach initiatives
Families came together in prayer, fellowship, and service.
In 2020, the parish, guided by its clergy, adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by introducing:
Online Masses
Virtual prayer sessions
Digital catechism
Relief drives for affected families
The parish remained united and committed to spiritual support and compassion.
Today, Holy Name Church continues to flourish as a warm and welcoming spiritual home under the leadership of Fr. Thomas Blessin, the current Parish Priest.
Building on the foundation laid by Fr. Lourdusamy, strengthened by the mission work of Fr. Victor Emmanuel, and nurtured by the dedicated priests who served through the years, the parish stands strong in:
Faith
Community life
Service

Faith is the guiding light of our church life. It provides purpose, direction, and strength. By embracing faith, we align our hearts and actions with God’s will, and it drives us to serve others, build meaningful relationships, and grow together as a community.
Love is at the core of everything we do. We express love through our outreach efforts, offering care and support to those in need, and fostering an environment where each person feels valued and heard. Whether through volunteer work, prayer, or fellowship, we seek to embody Christ's love in both small and large acts.
A true sense of belonging is created through authentic relationships, shared experiences, and meaningful participation. At Holy Name Church, we provide opportunities for people to connect, grow together, and support one another. Whether through worship services, community events, or volunteer groups, everyone is invited to be part of the church family.
Spiritual growth is central to our mission as a church. It helps us deepen our connection with God and equips us to serve with greater compassion and wisdom. We encourage spiritual growth through prayer, scripture study, and active involvement in ministry, helping each person move closer to their divine purpose.
Our faith, love, and spiritual growth principles influence every program and event we offer. From worship services to community outreach projects, our church’s activities are designed to help individuals live out these values in tangible ways. Every opportunity for engagement is meant to foster a deeper connection to God, strengthen relationships within the community, and inspire service to others.
Holy Name Church is a place of worship, fellowship, and service, dedicated to spreading God’s love and nurturing a faithful community.”
