Laity Honoured

Malankara Catholic Church honoured 21 members of the Laity who participate in the building up of the Church with immense sacrifice and exemplary service in the various missions of the Church. Among them 8 are women. The titles are called “(Bar Eetho Kasheetho) the Diligent Son of the Church” and “(Bars Eetho Kasheertho) the Diligent Daughter of the Church”. It goes without saying that the titles of honour bestowed in the Church are in recognition of the meritorious service they rendered to the Church. The Major Archbishop Catholicos announced the names of those dignitaries in the public meeting on the main day of the reunion day celebrations at Ranni. They laity are:
