  • From the Apostolic See of Malankara Metropolitan Dr.Joseph Mar Thoma
    FROM THE APOSTOLIC SEE OF MALANKARA METROPOLITAN DR.JOSEPH MAR THOMA Circular No.210 Blessings to you all the Vicars, Resident Clergy, Trustees and Members of all the Parishes under our authority. Beloved in Christ, We have set apart Sunday, 21st December to remember and thank God for the arrival of St. Thomas the Apostle in India with the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ and to pray for the Church. We observe this day as the ‘Church Day'. Let us praise God for the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar, a part of the Universal Church, and for the fundamental values of the Church. A Thanks giving service may be arranged on that day. It will be appropriate for parishes to organize meetings on the occasion either by themselves or in cooperation with others. May God help us to dedicate ourselves fully to believe in the Lord and to carry out the will of God in the manner of St. Thomas the Apostle, who confessed his faith before the Lord, saying, “My Lord and my God”. As the offertory on the Church Day is earmarked for the St. Thomas Episcopal Fund of the Church, the same must be promptly remitted to the Sabha Office. Let us dedicate ourselves so that the Church, called to be salt to the earth and light to the world, may go forward in its Christian witness in submission to the will of God. We must pray all the more for receiving the power of the Holy Spirit needed for this. Grace be with you all.
