On 28th December 2015, the dream of the women members of our parish became a reality when St. Mary’s Women’s Association was formed under the guidance of the vicar, Rev. Fr. Edhose Koungamapillil and under the blessing of our Holy Antiochal Patriarch Mor Ignatius Aphrem 2.

Activities :
We have over 40 lady members in our church’s vanitha samajam. Bible classes, conferences, seminars, interecessary prayer to our St. Mary and group discussions are conducted for our spiritual and moral development under our respective Achen’s leadership. These meetings mainly focus on the role of a woman in a family.

Participation in church activities : The Women’s Association enthusiastically participates in church activities like preparing food, Christmas programme, church bazaar, picnic etc.

Charities:
We organsise charities across India with the help of our Bishop and Achen’s requests. We conduct a yearly food festival among our church members as well as auctions to help with the vanitha Samajam’s funding.

Zonal Activities:
Under the All UK Vanitha Samjam zonal team, we conduct monthly prayers and discussions.

Generally speaking we participate in all church activities.

Conclusion :
We pray that the intercession of Virgin Mother Mary who is also our matron of our church, along with all our saints continue to be with us to carry out our little share of activities in lending a helping hand in whichever way possible. Above all we thank and praise the Almighty for bestowing His blessings upon us and we join the Psalmist in praising Him because with His strength, He strengthens us ….
