St.
Paul’s Fellowship is a spiritual organization under the Malankara
Archdiocese of the Syrian Orthodox Church in North America.
In the 2002 archdiocesan family conference, a
meeting of members from various parishes across the United States
& Canada acknowledged a vacuum existing in our spiritual growth
and an immediate need for organizing a body of faithful to work
together for the remedial cause. There “The St.Paul's Fellowship"
was born. The announcement was warmly welcomed by everyone that
reflected the need for such an organization for men, a kind of parallel
organization to the St. Mary's Women's League (Martha Mariam Samajam).
Men also deserve spiritual nurturing rather than being onlookers
of events. It is expected that the two organizations of men and
women can plan joint venture activities that is often of common
interest in the fields of family life, upbringing children in our
church tradition, Gospel study, spiritual growth and helping those
who are in need of social & spiritual nurturing. The archdiocese
expects that each member parish have a unit of St.Paul’s Fellowship
and a unit secretary. Our member Mr. Babu Jacob is the Archdiocesan
General Secretary of the Fellowship for the years 2004-2006.
Mr. George Yohannan is the current co-ordinator
of St. Paul's Prayer Fellowship of our parish.
