NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM


MISSIONARY CHALLENGES OF SYRO-MALABAR CHURCH

Paurasthya Vidyapeetam conducted a National Symposium on Missionary Challenges of the Syro-Malabar Church on August 18, 2018 at St. Thomas Apostolic Seminary. It was co-ordinated by Rev. Dr. James Puliurumbil. In connection with Varietas Ecclesiarum of His Holiness Pope Francis, the symposium intended to reflect on the missionary responsibility of the Church, especially, from the perspective of the Syro-Malabar Church. Due to the great deluge that plagued our state at that time, the symposium was cut short to one day; hence many dignitaries especially His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alencherry and His Excellency Mar Raphael Thattil could not took part in the symposium. 
Rev. Dr. Andrews Mekkattukunnel, President of PVP, welcomed the august audience. His Grace Mar Mathew Moolekkatt inaugurated the symposium and blessed the gathering with a  thought-provoking message. Rev. Dr. Joy Ainiyadan, Rector, made the felicitation address.  Rev. Dr. Vargheese Kochuparambil read out the inaugural address of His Beatitude Mar George Cardinal Alencherry in his absence. His Excellency Mar Antony Panengadan, Dr. James Puliurumbil and Dr. Pauly Maniyatt presented papers in the symposium. Rev. Dr. Dominic Vechoor read out the paper by Mar Raphael Thattil in his absence. The sessions were moderated by Malpan Rev. Dr. Mathew Vellanickal and Rev. Dr. Joseph Kaduppil.  Mr. Tomy C. C shared his missionary experience in Odisha.  Deacon Martin Pattarumadathil evaluated the symposium and Bro. Sebastian Alappattu Kottayil rendered the words of gratitude.
