responsibility and duty to be involved in the MGOCSM and partake
in its activities, advised His Grace Zachariah Mar Nicholovos,

A slideshow showcasing
various activities of the MGOCSM was shown to the attendees.
Miss Lincy Thomas made a presentation about Missions 2005, which
took place last month, in which certain young men and women from
different parts of the United States visited Kerala and stayed
at chosen mission centers of the Orthodox Church. Lincy spoke of
their experiences at St. Paul’s Convent and Balagram and showed
pictures from their visit.
The proceeds of the banquet would be sent to the Balagram for
the repair of the car which was damaged in the unfortunate
accident which took place last month that took the life of
Sister Helen of the Convent.
