All other special services or Saints Feast days are to be celebrated on the 2[nd] and 4[th] Sunday of every month.

We express our gratitude to all those who participated and made it a memorable day. 

## ACTIVITIES OF SPIRITUAL ORGANISATIONS: 

_Sunday school:_ As previous years, Sunday school classes were conducted regularly after the Holy Mass for classes 1-10, under the supervision of Mr. Kernal Eapen (who is continuing to serve as the Headmaster) with Mrs. Susan Eldhose (who is acting as Assistant Head teacher). Vacation bible school (VBS) also was lead beautifully by the Sunday School for the children of the church on the 27, 28 & 29[th] October 2023 which was a grand success. We conducted a Children’s Arts Festival (‘Balakalolsavam’) of various events for Sunday School children on the 16[th] March 2023 and the winners were gone ahead to participate in the North of England Regional Sunday School Festival.

## THE HOLY ANOINTMENT OF MOORON & FOUNDATION STONE 

After 19 years of waiting, the St. Mary’s JSOC Manchester parish which began its service in 2004, has finally realized its dream of building its own church in 2023.In 2018, a church was found in Bolton and a decision was made to purchase it. After completing the necessary procedures, the keys to this church were handed over in January 2020 and the renovation work began. The UK patriarchal vicar, His Eminence Dr Mathews Mor Anthimos Metropolitan, inaugurated the work with a prayer. However, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the restoration work could only be carried out systematically and effectively in 2022.With the belief that the works will be completed in the first months of 2023, the parish General Meeting 

4 



deliberated on the consecration of the Holy Mooron, and the parish unanimously decided that the laying of memorial and the consecration of the Holy Mooron would be performed by the hands of His Holiness, the Patriarch of Antioch and the Eastern See. In accordance with the request made by the parish Metrapolitan, in the presence of His Holiness the Patriarch, it has been decreed to hold a service on the Saturday and Sunday coinciding with the, 13[th] May & 14[th] May 2023, in connection with the Feast of the Ears (of Wheat) of the Holy Mother of God. His Holiness Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, who arrived in Manchester with His Holiness the Patriarch, was accompanied by HIis Grace Joseph Mor Gregorios (Assistant Catholicate of Malankara Metropolitan Trustee), His Grace Isaac Mor Osthatios (Patriarchal Vicar of UK), His Grace Kuriakose Mor Theophilos (The Resident Metrapolitan of the Seminary for Vicars), His Grace Mor Athanasius Toma Dawod (Metrapolitan of the Syrian Orthodox Diocese of the UK and Ireland), His Grace Dr Mathews Mor Anthimos (Muvattupuzha Regional Metropolitan), and His Grace Marcos Mor Christaphoros (Secretary of the Malankara Section under the Patriarch). These aforementioned Metrapolitans were associated with these great services as collaborators. The parish expresses its gratitude and love to His Holiness Patriarch Bava's Secretary, Benyamin Augan Ramban, St.Barnabas Charity Foundation Founder, Very Rev. Fr. Patrick Sookhdeo Chorepiscopa, Rev. Fr. Raju Cheruvally Chorepiscopa of the UK Region, and other respected priests, deacons, and other distinguished guests who came to attend this blessed occasion of the parish. We remember all the institutions and their officials with gratitude. We would like to specially remember the founder of the St. Barnabas Charity Foundation Trust, very Rev. Fr. Patrick Sukhdeo Chorepiscopa, for his very special reference party and we would like to dedicate our dining hall to the memory of the foundation's great helping hand. We wish the prayers of the parish for all the activities of this movement. In honour of His Holiness Patriarch Bava, who accepted our invitation and came, a dinner reception was held for the Holy Father with all the parishes. This occasion was an unforgettable moment for all the parishes. We had the opportunity to get to know the Holy Father closely and take photos of him with our family. We remember with gratitude those who came and participated and worked for this. When His Holiness arrived in Manchester, arrangements were made for the Jacobite faithful in the UK region to celebrate Holy Communion with the Holy 

5 



Father at the Bolton Stadium Hall on 13th May 2023 under the hospitality of our parish and the leadership of the MSOC Council. Around 1500 faithful from different parts of the UK were blessed with the Holy Communion offered by the Holy Father. We express our gratitude and love to the MSOC Council and the faith community in the UK. We would like to express our gratitude and love to the parish for the tireless efforts of the Building Committee, the Discussion Committee, and the various committees formed in conjunction with the sacrament, who carried out their duties in a very orderly manner to complete the renovation work of the church we purchased. The role of the parishioners in transforming the Church of England church we received in 2020 into the Jacobite church tradition we see today, is very large. From the building fund raised with the desire to buy our own church, to the generous people who gave the necessary materials for the church as offerings, and to the parishioners who gave large and small amounts of money as loans and donations due to the insufficiency of funds, to the parishioners who worked hard day and night across all the days, and to the respected priests who guided us with prayers in all our activities. Above all, with a grateful heart, we offer a thousand praises and thanks to God who has led us this far. 

## CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES 

From 2023 -2024 we collected Food and Clothing from our parish on two separate occasions. This was on behalf of St. Barnabas Charity Foundation who has immensely helped and supported us financially. I would like to convey my gratitude to all the family members who cooperated in collecting and donating.

## CONCLUSION 

We express our gratitude to the merciful God who has blessed us with the help and guidance to put the decisions of the parish into action this year. The parish once again expresses its respect and gratitude to His Holiness Patriarch Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, the Supreme Patriarch of the Holy Church, who has blessed the parish with spiritual leadership, His Beatitude Aboon Mor Baseliose Thomas I Catholicos and the Vicar of the UK Patriarchal, His Eminence Isaac Mor Osthatios Metropolitan. In addition, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the respected parish vicar, Rev. Fr. Geevarghese Thandayath, who led the worship in the parish, the assistant vicar, Rev. Fr. Lilu Varghese, Rev. Fr. Shijo Kurian, Rev. Fr. Sanu Mathew, Rev. Fr. Eldhose Kaungampillil, and Rev. Fr. Sibi Valayil, as well as the Board of Directors who work for the smooth running of the parish. Furthermore, we would like to express our gratitude and love to the family members of the parish who provide strong support to the parish's activities, and we request everyone's unwavering support and cooperation in the future as well. In praise of the merciful God and taking refuge in the intercession of the Holy Mother, the guardian intercessor of the parish, Saint George and Saint Thomas the Apostle, the Board of Trust humbly submits the work report of the year 2023 – 2024 before the General Meeting.
