ADEIU TO REV. FR. THOMAS MALAYIL

After four years of commendable service in the Exarchate as the Pastor of St. Jude’s Malankara Catholic Parish in Philadelphia and as the Director of the Mothers’ Forum in the Exarchate, Rev. Fr. Thomas Malayil is relieved of his responsibilities in the Exarchate. On August 17, 2014 he was given a warm send off from the St. Jude’s Parish in the presence of His Excellency the Most Rev. Thomas Mar Eusebius. The Exarchate remains deeply thankful to Rev. Fr. Malayil for the remarkable pastoral leadership that he gave to the parish and also for his generous cooperation and assistance to the common activities and Apostolates of the Exarchate, especially to the Mothers’ Forum. His pastoral leadership in the St. Jude’s parish has helped to strengthen the parish and to provide it greater unity and consolidation. May God continue to bless him in all his future ministries in the Church. Rev. Fr. Saji Mukkoot is the new Pastor appointed for the parish. He took charge of the parish on August 23, 2014. We wish Rev. Fr. Saji God’s blessings in his ministry in Philadelphia. Fr. Saji's new address is Saint Athanasius Parish, 2050 Walnut Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19138.
