Annual Report 2016-17

Introduction It is with great joy and utmost humility that we present the Annual Report of MGOCSM 2016- 17. The Grace of the Almighty was showered on all the activities of MGOCSM and the intercession of our Patron Saint Parumala Mar Gregorios has been a strong fortress for the stewards of MGOCSM. The activities of MGOCSM spread vigorously at the parish level and this opened up immense possibilities for the student ministry. We thank God Almighty for all that could be done during the year under report.

1. Units and Activities Parish units, Institution units and E-units were the three levels in which the MGOCSM worked. Parish units function under the leadership of the respective Vicars, Vice Presidents and student secretaries of the parish. Institution units work under the guidance of the institutional head or the staff advisor and the student secretaries duly elected. E-unit is a new venture to unite students who are not able to come regularly to the meetings due to physical inconvenience. The possibility of establishing E-units is being explored in various parts of the world and the work is in progress. MGOCSM full time workers, diocesan officials, student leaders and senior friends visited and organised MGOCSM units and formed new units in various schools, colleges and parishes. During this period about 168 units were registered with the central office. Many unregistered units are functioning in the parishes, schools and colleges. The local units in various parishes were visited by MGOCSM priests on various Sundays. They gave leadership to the unit level activities and also inaugurated new units in different places. Leaders visited various units and met the diocesan leaders and senior friends for the promotion of the unit activities in the local level. A hand book giving guidelines for unit activities on the basis of the amended constitution is ready for publication. The hand book will be available at MGOCSM book shop during the next academic year. In addition to inside Kerala units we have active units and programmes outside Kerala and outside India.

b. St.Pauls Orthodox Christian Students Centre, Bangalore (Under St. Paul’s Orthodox Christian Society, Bangalore) St.Paul’s Orthodox Christian Society, Bangalore, came under the control of MGOCSM from 16th March 1998. The Society owns a small Chapel in a 1575 sq.ft plot of land very close to the Cantonment Railway Station, Bangalore. It was a Parish (St.Pau’ls Orthodox Church) under the Diocese of Madras. Due to the financial liability the parish was closed for a long time. MGOCSM Senior Friends and Rev. Fr. Sabu Kuriakose (H G Zacharias Mar Aprem, then a Student of UTC) took the help of the then General Secretary Fr.John Thomas to settle the Rs.1.5 lakhs liability and took over the property during 1998. The members of the Society resigned and the President, Secretary of MGOCSM of India and the Senior friends from Bangalore replaced the members of the society. Though an independent society, it is under the control of the MGOCSM of India. One of the conditions of taking over the parish was that there shall be Holy Qurbana every week. The church was renamed as St.Pauls Orthodox Christian Students’ centre, Bangalore. It is a meeting place of MGOCSM Senior friends and students, Bangalore. During 2006 the chapel was renovated using the funds generated out of a Musical night organised by the Senior friends. Initially there was regular Holy Qurbana by MGOCSM Student Chaplains and later on frequency was reduced to once a month. There has been no Holy Qurbana for the last four years. There is scope for constructing a hostel building on top of the chapel and to develop it as a student centre. The premises is located in the heart of the city and is a very valuable asset of the MGOCSM. c. Mar Gregorios Rehabilitation Centre (MGRC) Mar Gregorios Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind (MGRC) is a charitable organization under the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and is engaged in the rehabilitation of poor persons with disabilities (PWDs). It was started in 1983 by the late lamented Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus Metropolitan as a project of MGOCSM, the student wing of the Church. For the first decade it catered to the rehabilitation needs of the blind people only. In 1993 the services were extended to cover people with major types of disabilities such as orthopedically handicapped, hearing impaired and mentally challenged, besides the visually impaired. The program consists of medical rehabilitation, economic rehabilitation and social rehabilitation. MGRC is managed by an Executive Committee. The annual financial outlay is around Rs. 45 lakhs which mostly come as small donations from our own members and well-wishers. d. Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Mercy Fellowship (MGOCMF) MGOCMF is a charity organization (Reg. No. T.361/1999) started in 1997 with the Motto “Pray together, Work together”.
