The main attraction of the night was the drama "Swapna Soudham" (meaning Dream House; the house of the Lord; Church). The prayerful efforts taken by a missionary priest to build a church and the Divine intervention through which the stubborn landlord finally agrees to sell land to build the church and the events happening in this occasion was beautifully portrayed under the leadership of the Mens Fellowship of the Cathedral. The story thread was contributed by Rev. Leslie Vinod Padiyangadan and the drama was directed by Shri. Wilson Samuel who is a renowned person in the field of theatre and drama.
