The Tallikere Farm of the Diocese is also ably looked after and managed by a Priest appointed by the diocese. For his pastoral life he is given extra charge of Kodse mission. Fr. Jerome D Souza, Fr. Stany D Souza, Fr. Michael Pinto, Fr. Antony Rodrigues, served in the farm and looked after the spiritual needs of Kodse mission. Presently Fr. Antony D Souza is in charge of the mission.
