13 MGOCSM – DIOCESE OF AHMEDABAD ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 2016-17
Glory be to the Triune God. With a deep sense of gratitude we hereby present the Annual Report of MGOCSM Ahmedabad Diocese for the year 2015-17. The CWC meeting for planning the year under the review was held on 23.03.2015 under the Presidentship of our Diocesan Metropolitan H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios. The meeting was attended by the Diocesan Vice-President, Fr. James Geevarghese. In the meeting it was decided that the annual conference of Ahmedabad Diocese will be held bi-annually. For the year 2015- 16 it was decided that all the respective regions coming under the diocese namely Gujarat Region, Rajasthan Region and M.P. Region will conduct a regional conference in the first year. Also all the units under the Diocese were instructed to conduct a one day conference in their respective units. M.P. region was the first to conduct such a meeting and there was whole hearted participation from all the units. Dewas Parish in Madhya Pradesh was the host Parish and the conference was attended by members of Dewas Parish, Indore Parish, Pithampur Parish. The conference was a grand success as many new members from various parishes attended the conference. The Gujarat region conference was held in the month of October and the same was attended by all the participants of Gujarat Region. Baroda Parish was the host Parish for the conference. Fr. Bijesh Philip was the main speaker for the conference. The conference was attended by more than 100 members from various parts of Gujarat making the conference a grand success. As decided in the CWC meeting the Rajasthan Region conference could not be conducted as none of the churches in the region were financially sound to host a conference of regional level. However many of the Parishes in the region conducted a one day conference in their own parish. In the year 2015-16 various events were conducted by various parishes. The most common among them being charity events, Tree plantation activity and Sports meets. Baroda MGOCSM unit and Ahmedabad MGOCSM unit also conducted special counseling classes for the students appearing for the SSC and HSC examinations. During the Lent period the MGOCSM units actively participated in conducting VIGIL and prayer sessions. Ahmedabad unit has started a new initiative by way of a quarterly magazine named SEGTHO. Besides these activities, the youths also meet up often for bible studies, sharing sessions after Church as well as fellowship gatherings to further enhance the relationship and bond of the youth. In the second year 2016-17 also various unit level conferences were held across the Diocese and utmost importance was given to protect the environment theme and to form a connection between our Church and the environment. The main motto was to sustain the environment so that it can also be useful for the future generation. The annual conference of MGOCSM
14 Ahmedabad Diocese was held in Indore from Oct 28-2016 to Oct 30-2016. The conference was attended from all the parts of the diocese. Indore unit was hosting the annual conference for the first time. But under the able guidance of the parish Vicar Rev. Fr. Tiju Iype and Diocesan Vice President Rev. Fr. James Geevarghese the unit was able to host the conference in one of the best ways possible. Our President H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios, Metropolitan was the chief guest and the main speaker for the conference. The conference was also graced by the presence of various members from The Coptic Orthodox Church from Egypt. The conference began with a grand welcome to all the dignitaries and the delegates present for the conference. For the first day of the conference, all the classes were conducted by the Priests of the Coptic Orthodox Church along with their kochammas and the team that was with them. It was an altogether a different experience for the delegates as they experienced another way of Orthodoxy from the usual way. The second day of the conference started with Holy Qurbana which was celebrated by the Priests from The Coptic Orthodox Church. The third day of the conference began with the Holy Qurbana and the Chief celebrant being our Diocesan Metropolitan H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios. The CWC meeting of the office bearers was soon held after that to elect the new office bearers for year 2017-2019. The meeting was conducted successfully and all the office bearers were elected. A General meeting of all the delegates was held and all the newly elected office bearers were introduced to the delegates. Thirumeni urged all the newly elected office bearers to give their best and uphold the spirit of MGOCSM by following the motto of MGOCSM i.e. WORSHIP, STUDY & SERVICE. On behalf of the MGOCSM Ahmedabad Diocese, we wish to convey our respectful thanks to our President H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios Metropolitan for His Grace's vision, His leadership qualities, for recognizing and using these gifts that the young members bring to enrich the life and follow the path of Christ. I am also grateful to our Vice President Rev. Fr. James Geevarghese and Priests of our Diocese for their overall leadership and strong support in the movement activities. We express our gratitude to the Bishop President – H.G. Geevarghese Mar Coorilos Metropolitan, Bishop Vice–President H.G.

During the year 13 students appeared for Std. X Gujarat State Board exam, out of which, 11 students passed out. However, there is considerable improvement in admission of the students in the new academic year.
Construction of compound wall in front of the School building has been completed, at approx cost of Rs.13.50 lakhs. The prayer hall has been renovated and remodelled on ground floor of the School building. The renovated hall was sanctified by His Holiness Baselios Marthoma

The School is situated in a reasonably developed area of the city and is surrounded by other private Schools. The School has got its own land and buildings, and also owns three School buses.
The General Body meeting of the Society, in a meeting held on 24th April 2016, unanimously passed and adopted a resolution, handing over the ownership and management of the School to the Orthodox Diocese of Ahmedabad unconditionally. The matter was considered by the Diocesan Council and the Council deputed a team of representatives to Banswara to study the matter. Based on the report of the team, the Diocesan Council decided to accept the request of the said Society and take over the ownership and management of the School, and further develop the School. Accordingly the School was taken over with effect from 1st April 20116. The School was in existence during the last 20 years. The School had a strength of 228 students from Nursery to Std.IX.

30 work.
General – During the year, the Diocesan Metropolitan and the Office Bearers of the Education Board visited all the Schools more than once, conducted meetings of the local Committees, held meetings with the teaching and non-teaching staff of the Schools, and reviewed the working of the institutions. All the Schools have celebrated important occasions, such as Independence/Republic Day, Teachers Day and other national festivals.
The Schools being managed by different parishes in the Diocese, especially those at Ahmedabad, Baroda, Anand, and Jamnagar in Gujarat, and Udaipur, and Bilwara in Rajasthan have been making rapid progress and achieved academic excellence by obtaining 100 per cent results at the respective Board examinations. The Diocesan Metropolitan had also visited all the Schools managed and run by the respective parishes. It is very heartening to report that St. Mary's Higher Secondary School, Naroda, Ahmedabad, under the management of St. Mary's Cathedral, Ahmedabad, has been adjudged as the best School of Ahmedabad City and has been awarded a prize of Rs.100,000 by the Government of Gujarat at a glittering function, in recognition of academic excellence during the last five years.
The vision, keen interest, professional skill, progressive management, timely advice, directions and guidance of the Diocesan Metropolitan, His Grace Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios, who is the Manager of the Schools, have immensely taken the institutions to newer heights and helped in achieving academic excellence. The academic skill and professional ability of Fr. James Geevarghese, Assistant Manager, also helped all the Institutes in their growth and development.
We express our gratitude and thanks to all the members of the Education Board, Vice Presidents, Principals, Secretary, Treasurer and members of the Local Committee of the respective Schools for their timely management and contributions to the Institutes and also to the teaching and non-teaching staff and students of various Schools for academic excellence.
