Divine call: The head of the Syro-Malankara Church, Baselios Cleemis, announcing the elevation of Mar Ivanios as ‘Servant of God’ at Pattom St. Mary’s Cathedral in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday.
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The first step towards canonisation of Geevarghese Mar Ivanios, the first Metropolitan and Archbishop of the Malankara Catholic Church and founder of the Order of Bethany Sisters, was made on Saturday with his being named ‘Servant of God.’ Catholicos Baselios Cleemis made the declaration at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Pattom, here at a Holy Mass held in the morning to mark the 54th Remembrance Day and 125th birth anniversary of the late Archbishop. Hundreds of people, including scores of priests and nuns, were present at the cathedral to witness the historic moment in the history of the Syro-Malankara Church. Thiruvalla Archbishop Thomas Mar Coorilos, Bishops Geevarghese Mar Dionysius, Juhanon Mar Chrysostom, Joshua Mar Ignathios and Apostolic Visitor of missions outside Kerala Jacob Mar Barnabas were present at the mass and concelebration to mark the occasion. The Catholicos also received the rallies of the devout that reached the cathedral from the dioceses of Ranni, Perumattil, Thiruvalla, Marthandam and Mavelikara earlier in the morning as part of the celebration.
