Suvishesha Sangam for Children

The Syro-Malankara Catholic church commenced a first ever Suvisesha Sangam for children. Conducted on the 19th and 20th of April 2016, a few parishes under the Major Archieparchy of Thiruvananthapuram chose children studying between the classes 7th and 12th, to form the Suvisesha Sangam with apt training and guidance. The programme was conducted at the Catholicate Centre with 92 participating students.

Very Rev. Msg. Mathew Manakarakavil, the Vicar General of Major Archeparchy delivered a beautiful message with blessings for the children. Rev. Fr Antony Kakkanatt, Rev. Sr Francina D.M, Rev. Sr Mary Prasada D.M and the members of Suvisesha Sangam — Dr Thomaskutty Panchickal, Dr Jibi Varghese, Dr Joju John guided the classes. Holy mass was celebrated at the tomb of Mar Ivanios followed by dhoopaprarthana. Accommodation was provided at the Catholicate Centre along with prayer and Holy confession for the spiritual awakening of the children. In order to form a religious belief, the children were given 10 directions to follow.

The Sangam decided to organize the next programme on 11 June 2016.
