the permission and blessings from our fathers of blessed memory H.H. Mar
Gevarghese II the third Catholicos of Malankara Orthodox Church and H.
G. Paulose Mar Severios, Metropolitan of the diocese of Cochin. After
the demise of Paulose Mar Severios in 1962 H. G. Augen Mar Thimotheos of
blessed memory the then Cathilicos Designate and the Metropolitan of the
Diocese of Kandanad conferred on the sisters the monastic Full
Profession on 29th April,1963. In 1967 the sisters moved from

agriculture in their small piece of land for their livelihood. In ten
years the numbers of the sisters were increased to 14. In1967 they could
start an Aided U. P. School and in 1991 an Unaided L.P. School.
Metropolitans Youhanon Mar Severios, Yakkob Mar Policarpos and Paulose

convent for their daily administration. The Founder and first mother
superior of this convent Mother Yohannah expired and entered into

members of this convent was elected by the convent chapter and was
appointed as New Mother superior by the visitor bishop. The convent
could also start an Unaided High School in 2003 adjacent to their
premises.
2. KARUNALAYAM.
The chapter of the convent
decided to start a home for the welfare of the mentally challenged and
physically disabled women to perpetuate the loving memory of their
founder Superior Mother Yohannah O. C. C. The foundation stone of this
home for the poor and destitute of the society, KARUNALAYAM, was laid
by the visitor bishop H. G. Dr. Mathews Mar Severios on 26th
March 2003 in a piece of land owned by the convent adjacent to the new
High School. A charitable trust by no: R. 781/2004 was registered with
18 members from all walks of life including the sisters of the convent.
The visitor bishop is its President and Mother Superior will be its
Vice-President. Senior sister, one of the founding members, was
appointed as secretary of the trust. The ground floor of Karunalayam was
consecrated and dedicated to the society by H. H. Baselios Marthoma
Didymos I, Catholicos and Malankara Metropolitan on 8th
October 2006. Three inmates were given admission on the day of
inauguration. At present eight mentally challenged women inmates enjoy
the loving service of the dedicated sisters Lovis and Thekkila in
company of four other assistants. Other sisters of the convent regularly
visit the home and share their time with the inmates. For every activity
in their daily life like morning ablutions, exercises, dining, prayer
etc. are done only with the help of others. Doctors from the hospitals
in Kunnamulam often visit this home and render their valuable service in
keeping the inmates healthy. There are benevolent people who support
this institution wholeheartedly visiting the institution on special
occasions in their life like marriage, wedding anniversary, baptism of
their children etc. and dine with the children. We need more well
wishers who could help generously this institution both for the
construction of the next floor as well as for the recurring expenses of
the inmates. Because of the lack of funds we are restricted to give
admission to more inmates.
E. St. Gregorios Charitable Trust, Mysore.
At the background of this
trust stands the HRANI Trust. The HRANI (Human Relations and National
Integration) Trust was a pioneering organization, initiated with the
intention to help promote improved intergroup relations among diverse
groups of people in our country. The Trust constituted a team of
dedicated individuals from different walks of life, functioning on a
mutually consultative basis. The Trust was governed by a Board of
Trusties of which the late Sri. M. C. Mathew Manamel was the Chairman
and the late Rev. Fr. Dr. P. C. Eapen the Managing Trustee. The initial
objective was to establish a home away from home for retired senior
citizens regardless of religious affiliation, who may wish to spend
their retired life in such a friendly congenial community setting. The
HRANI Trust had six acres of prime landing Billikere located at the
outskirts of the historical garden city of Mysore.
Though the
initial response for this experience in community living for senior
citizens was encouraging, and a few people ventured to explore the
possibility, the project in the initial stages regrettably could be said
to have been inadequately planned and organized and led to the
withdrawal of those few interested individuals from the project. Paucity
of funds and organizational capability coupled with a lack of
appropriate infrastructural facilities to house the individuals
resulting in their withdrawal led to a prolonged period of inactivity
and the eventual decision to donate all assets to the Orthodox Church of
India. The late M. C. Mathew, Chairman, late Fr. Dr. P. C. Eapen, the
Managing Trustee and the members of the Board of Trustees of the HRANI
Trust have thus donated the entire assets of the HRANI Trust including
the six acres of land to the St. Gregorios Charitable Trust of the
Orthodox Church of India.
The Holy
Episcopal Synod of the Orthodox Church of India has authorized H. G. Dr.
Mathews Mar Severios, Metropolitan of Kandanad, to take over the land
.He was directed to develop it appropriately in order to serve the
people in this part of the country. Accordingly we formulated a
Charitable Trust under The caption “St. Gregorios Charitable Trust” (Reg.No.
2855/2002) at Mysore to establish a house for the physically and
mentally challenged people. H.H. the Catholicos of the Malankara
Orthodox Church is the Patron of the Trust and H. G. Dr. Mathews Mar
Severios function as its Managing Trustee. The land for the project has
been registered on behalf of the Trust in the name of the Catholicos.

2. ST. GREGORIOS CONVENT SCHOOL.
When we have conducted a
bench line survey we found out that there are about 20 villages around
Snehabhavan, most of them agricultural laborers & marginal farmers. By
no means are they unable to send their children to city, to get quality
education. Then we thought of starting a school for them, in spite of so
many obstacles, including financial burden, as part of the mission.
Hence we have started the school in June 2006.
Now we have constucted 6 class rooms which cost around Rs.
1600000-00.There are 175 students in 4 classes, namely Lower K.G, Upper
K.G, Ist Standard & 2 nd Standard. We can make only a gradual
development increasing one standard ever year. The parents of
the students consider this as great blessing. We have 6 teaching staff,
M.A. B.Ed, D. Ed & Graduates. There are 2 drivers & one Ayah. We have
purchased 2 vans, which costs Rs 900000-00 on Bank loan to pick up the
children from the villages. We hope to develop this to a Higher
Secondary School in future for the education mission in the locality.
F. MAR BASELIOS CHILDREN’S HOME.
This home for orphans and destitute was initiated by the late Very Rev.
Elias Thomas Corepiscopa of the Malankara Orthodox Church in 1960 with
Reg.No.64/1960 registered under the societies Reg.Act XXI of 1860.Both
the orphan boys and girls were residing in separate buildings, about 3
kilometers apart, at Mannapra near Vadakkenchery in Palghat district.
After the demise of the founder, according to the direction in his Will
the institution was taken over by the Malankara Orthodox Church. The
Holy Synod of the Church constiuted a governing council for the same
with late lamented Joseph Mar Pachomios ,Metropolitan of the Diocese of
Kandanad as its President.After the demise of Metropolitan Joseph Mar
Pachomios in 1991 the Holy Synod appointed H.G.Paulose Mar
Milithios,Metropolitan of the Diocese of Kunnamkulam as its President
and H.G.Dr.Mathews Mar Severios,Metropolitan of Kandanad Diocese as its
Vice President. Mr.C.T. Thomas, son of Late Elias Thomas Corepiscopa was
the director for the Governing Board and Miss Achamma, appointed by the
founder, served as the Warden of both the Homes. Since Miss Achamma
could not continue in the post due to old age, by the request of the
Presidents the St.Mary’s Convent Kizhakkambalam was kind enough to
render the service of two members of the convent to the homes. Thus
Rev.Sr.Elsa and Rev.Sr.Slomo took charge as the Wardens of the homes on
4th June 1994.In May 1995 Rev.Fr.Mathai Edayanal took charge of the
Director instead of Mr. Thomas who rendered his valuable service to the
homes for a very long period. The boys’ home was situated in 8 acres of
rocky land at Mannapra. Due to the continuos problem of the scarcity of
water there, the Boys home was shifted to a home at Vadavucode owned by
the Christian Fellowship organization of Vadavucodu. The Girls’ Home at
Mannapra remained under the supervision of the sisters. Priests from the
Diocese of Kandanad are appointed as administrators and Pre-seminary
candidates are appointed as wardens from time to time to the boys’ home.
The Christian Fellowship at Vadavucodu donated a land of 3.5 acres to
the boys’ home which was shifted to the new building constructed there
in 2002. The Institution has at present H.H.Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma
