James Till a decade ago, most print buyers from Kerala and many from southern India North : C.R. Nandakumar used to go to Chennai for quality printing jobs; and for bulk work to Sivakasi. This South : K. Madhusoodhanan trend was reversed after 2000 as well-equipped printing presses mushroomed in West : S. Saji new hubs like Cochin, Coimbatore and several smaller cities in India. When people Headquarters : P.S. Rajan have the facilities to do good printing in their neighborhood, why would they go Committee Chairmen distant places. Besides, they can save money in transportation and commuting. It seems that four-colour printing is shifting from tier 1 cities to tier 2 cities like Exhibitions : O. Venugopal Cochin, Coimbatore and Ahmadabad. The most important reason for this shifting Publication : P.S. Rajan is the high cost of real estate in mega cities like Mumbai and Delhi.

All Managing TCommittee members were in favour of buying the space of around 430 Sq. ft. and the price for the property is being negotiated with the owners. KMPA observed the Printers’ Day on February 24 with a function held at the association hall. K.V. Joseph of KK Printers, a veteran printer in Kochi and a close confidant of late Jose Joseph, was honoured during the function. Former Joint Director of Industries & Commerce Department, Adv. B. Prasannakumar was a special invitee at the function. He spoke elaborately on various subsidies offered by government for small scale entrepreneurs. Members present at the function had the opportunity to clear their doubts on getting the govt. subsidy and to ask about the ways to go about it. Well, I must say that KMPA is functioning with more vigor in uniting the printers’ community in Kerala. The association is trying to bring in more members to its fold and recently some new members were inducted. At the national level, KMPA is functioning as a loyal affiliate body to AIFMP. KMPA GC members are regularly attending the Federation’s Governing Council meetings. KMPA has also decided to join the South India Printers Association (SIPA) mooted by the Immediate Past President of AIFMP Mr. ASMG Ashokan. It will be a body of printers’of South India. The proposed association will be a good platform for printers from the region. It will strengthen the ties between the printers in South India. The new association held its first meeting at Madurai on March 15, 2015. A strong delegation of KMPA visited PrintPack India 2015 at Noida. The show was a big hit and it proved Print Industry in India is progressing well with ‘Make in India’ products gaining popularity. Our machines and technology were prominent in the show competing with other world class products. The exhibition also generated a good volume of business. The Printing Technology courses under Additional Skills Acquisition Programme (ASAP) are progressing and the first batch of the students are soon going to come out as their exams will soon be over. The exams at Trivandrum centre are completed; exams at Ernakulam, Trichur and Calicut centres are yet to be finished. KMPA has to sign a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government to continue the programme as ASAP wanted some changes in the conduct of the courses. ASAP wants three separate courses in Pre-Press, Press and Post-Press, unlike the single all-inclusive one we had been conducting so far. The draft of the MoUis being prepared. Some of the members of KMPA will surely be attending the International Printing Technology Exhibition in Guangdong, China. Bon voyage to all those going to China. Summer heat has started already and soon be unbearable. For the printers summer is the time to make hay. Printing presses get more work during this period of the year. The only worrying factor is power cut. As Kerala depends mainly on hydel electricity, power cuts (scheduled or unscheduled) are usual during summer due to the lack of sufficient water in the reservoirs. So, all of you adopt ways to cut power consumption and get ready for the heat. Happy summer days, G. Venugopal, (President, KMPA) Print Miracle | January - February 2015 | 3 PrintPack 2015 proves Print By P.S. Rajan he first thing I noticed at Print- visitors rated the show as ‘good’ to Pack India 2015 is a ‘shift of ‘excellent’. Tattitude’ among the visitors –

It takes us to the core of our faith, the mysteries in the life of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Saviour, around which our faith is rooted. This issue also presents to us the thoughts and reflections of our members who participated in the Plenary Assembly 2019 and the inputs of the invited thought leaders and speakers, in summary form. Another great context of this issue is the revisit to our Sacred Constitutions, in the light of ensuing Constitution Retreat, which we are planning to have this year, across our Provinces. In other words, we are looking back in order to leap forward! The yester years and the roots from which our congregation sprouted and flourished in the last two centuries impel and compel us to gain strength and courage to spring forward.

  • Cepcm Directory 2012 I the Official Teachings of the Church on the Pastoral Care of the Migrants
    CEPCM DIRECTORY 2012 I THE OFFICIAL TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH ON THE PASTORAL CARE OF THE MIGRANTS The history of humankind is a history of migration. Migrations are on the increase day by day for reasons of better livelihood, or for other demands of life like jobs, strenuous conditions in one’s own country, religious persecution and so on. It is a matter of serious concern for all nations and people. There are many advantages along with it, like good job opportunities, peaceful life, higher salaries, wide range of living standards, etc. But it is a fact that migrants who have had to give up their homeland, possessions and relations inevitably carry with them the characteristics and memories of their own people as an indelible identity which cannot be renounced or denied. Experience has shown that the inability of expression in other than the mother language and loss of cultural and spiritual patrimonies not only damage the conscience but also cancel religious convictions and practices. As far as the Church is concerned, migration has a great missionary dimension. Pope Paul VI in Evangelii Nuntiandi notes: “It is the result of their living presence and witness in the midst of new people that forms new Churches. So they are the real seeds and the evangelizers” (n.21). Migration always involves uprooting, detachment from one’s people, culture and place. At the same time it is for insertion and integration into a new society and place. In the Old Testament God brought the Israelites to the promised land to make them a chosen race and wanted them to keep up their identity in the new land.

  • Fr. Abel Periyappuram, CMI: Creator of a Syriac Music Genre in Malayalam
    1 Fr. Abel Periyappuram, CMI: Creator of a Syriac Music Genre in Malayalam Joseph J. Palackal, CMI Christian Musicological Society of India Abstract: Fr. Abel Periyappuaram (1920-2001), a CMI priest, who received no formal training in music during his formative years, became a pivotal figure in Kerala's cultural history and Christian music history of India. Fr. Abel's innate musicality came alive when Cardinal Joseph Parecattil (1912-1987) commissioned him to create a Malayalam version of the funeral services and the Hudra, the book of canonical prayers in Syriac. The commission came along with a mission to retain the Syriac melodies that were already in use among the Syro Malabar Catholics. It also meant that the translated text should be viable to the original Syriac melody. Fr. Abel relied on a liberal approach in representing the source text but took extreme care to make the target text pleasantly singable. As a result, a new genre of old Syriac melodies with Malayalam text became an integral part of the Syro Malabar Catholics' religious experience. This presentation focuses on an analytical study of Fr. Abel's music leadership in enriching the cultural confluence in Kerala and reconnecting India to the source of Christianity in West Asia. A time travel to the Ernakulam of 1965. Let us travel back in time to Ernakulam, a bustling commercial town in Kerala, India, in 1965. That is where Fr. Abel rediscovered himself as a lyricist, poet, art-promoter, organizer, and administrator. Fr. Abel arrived at Ernakulam after a teaching career at St. Joseph's College, Devagiri in Calicut.
