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. ** 5 ** MGOCSM Annual Report & Accounts 2016-17 2.General Assembly MGOCSM General Assembly is the statutory general body of the Movement, competent to take decisions on all matters relating to the administration and activities of the Movement subject to the approval of the Holy Episcopal Synod.
