members, delegates and participants attending various conferences, seminars, symposia and workshops. It has 83 rooms , out of which 18 are suites and 65 are air-conditioned.

Having recently turned six, the chapel conducts Mass and other activities like ‘intercession of prayers’ where handwritten, anonymous prayers are distributed among members, who then pray for the one they have received. Besides the chapel, Catholic Mass is conducted every Sunday at 8:30am in the NCC building; the community also regularly engages in charity work, orphanage visits, and more.
