NEED FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE CHURCH

As time passed the reopening the closed church was becoming more and more difficult. The metran kakshis was not ready for any peaceful permanent settlement or any mediation talks. Its around 35 years and there was no signs of any peaceful settlement. So the parish members thought of renovating their present chapel. It was discussed in the managing committee and and unaminously decided to forward the issue to the parish general body.

CHURCH HISTORY

Before we go into the renovation details , just to remind history of the church. Manthalir St.Thomas church was established in 1863. Since then church is under the Holy Apostholic See of Antioch and members of the parish has shown true faith and allegience towards the H.H. Patriarch of Antioch.

Manthalir church is one of the ancient churches in the Thumpamon Diocese of the Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church.
