The newly constructed Catholicate Centre was blessed by His Beatitude Moran Mor Baselios Cleemis Catholicos. It is the headquarters of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. During the blessing ceremony all the bishops of our Church were present. During the programme, His Beatitude thanked and congratulated all those who labored for the completion of the work and all benefactors who had given the financial support. Many priests, religious and faithful were present during the function. The Blessing was concluded with agape.

May God grant many blessings to our Syro-Malankara brethren!

(I know our Indian brothers and sisters seem to have a particular fondness for the color, but I wish they would at least limit the scope of that rose background - it's overwhelming.)

Many years,

Neil
