His mater nal grandfather was a priest\, Thoppil Scaria Qashisho. At a young age he learnt Syriac & at the age of 9 he was ordained a Quroyo by St. Coorilos Y uyakim the Reesh Episcopo (It is said that the saintly father had a vision that the young deacon would one day lead the faithful of Malankara). At t he age of 16\, Paulose was ordained a priest by Mathews Mar Athanasius\, P alakkunnath (founder of Marthoma Sabha). His first Holy Qurbono was at St. Mary's Church Kandanad. When a dispute about the validity of his consecra tion arose\, he was re-consecrated by Malankara Metropolitan Mor Dionysius V (Pulikkottil Joseph II) & then appointed as Vicar of Mulanthuruthy Chur ch. St. Gregorios Geevarghese Chathuruthil was then a Raban at the nearby Vettickal Chapel. Fr. Paulose was greatly influenced by the ascetic zeal & saintly nature of Raban Geevarghese\, & they formed a close companionship . Patriarch Ignatius Peter IV visited Malankara. In 1876 he convened the M ulanthuruthy Synod & later consecrated the Holy Chrism at Mulunthuruthy Ch urch. Both events were in the presence of Raban Geevarghese & Fr. Paulose. In September of the same year\, Fr. Paulose along with Karvattuveettil Sh em'vun Cor-Episcopo (later Mor Dionysius Shem'vun\, the first bishop of Ko chi) & Chalapurath Yac'ub Cor-Episcopo were elevated to the rank of Raban by Patriarch Peter IV. Raban Paulose could not stay much longer under the tutelage of Raban Geevarghese as the latter was to be consecrated Metropol itan Gregorios just a few months later in December. \n\nPatriarch Peter I V gave permission for Vettickal Chapel to function as a monastery\, & in 1 877 the foundation stone for Vettickal Dayro (the very first monastery of the Malankara Church) was laid. Raban Paulose took a keen interest to buil d up the monastery & the surrounding area including starting schools. Mala nkara Metropolitan Mor Dionysius V was pleased with the efforts of Paulose Raban\, & appointed him as the manager of Old Seminary. Raban Paulose alo ng with deacon Sleebo (later St. Osthatheos Sleebo) & others joined Mor Gr egorios Geevarghese Chathuruthil on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. After returning from the pilgrimage\, Raban Paulose was sent to Thiruvananthapu ram to look after the Syriac Orthodox faithful there. His untiring efforts & able leadership helped to complete the church construction within a yea r. St. George Church was the first Syriac Orthodox parish in Thiruvanantha puram (sadly it was later usurped by the schismatics). After completing hi s work there\, he returned to being the manager of Old Seminary & publishe r of Malankara Edvakappathrika (official magazine of the Church). \n\nEven with all his responsibilities\, Raban Paulose never wavered in his asceti cal lifestyle of prayer & fasting which he emulated from St. Gregorios Gee varghese. Through his missionary efforts more than 200 individuals heard t he Gospel & accepted Christ as Lord. Raban Paulose established a Church fo r them at a time when the notion of untouchability & societal casteism was rampant in the community. He personally came forward to carry out the rel igious needs of the converts to the Holy Church. \n\nAs Mor Dionysius V wa s advancing in age\, the Malankara Association convened by him decided to send two Rabans to the Patriarchate for Metropolitan Consecration. Rev. Ra ban Paulose & Rev. Fr. Geevarghese Vattasseril were elected to be ordained bishops & sent to Jerusalem. Patriarch Ignatius Abded Aloho II consecrate d & instituted them with the titles Mor Coorilos Paulose & Mor Dionysius G eevarghese respectively on 31st May 1908 at Dayro d-Mor Marqos Jerusalem i n the presence of Mor Osthatheos Sleebo & Mor Ivanios Elias (later Patriar ch St. Ignatius Elias III). It is important to note that the deposed Patri arch Abded Messih was still alive\, so there is no contention in Malankara about who was the legitimate canonical Patriarch of Antioch. A few months later\, the newly consecrated bishops returned to Malankara along with Pa triarchal Delegate Mor Osthatheos Sleebo. After becoming a Metropolitan\, Mor Coorilos continued his Gospel work\, assisted by Qasheesho Mikhayel of Kayankulam (later Mor Dionysius Mikhayel). After the death of Mor Dionysi us V\, with the permission of the Patriarch\, Mor Dionysius Geevarghese wa s enthroned as Malankara Metropolitan. The ceremony was conducted at Old S eminary by Mor Osthatheos Sleebo with Mor Ivanios Murimattom & Mor Coorilo s Paulose as Co-celebrants. It is said that Mor Osthatheos Sleebo preferre d Mor Coorilos to be Malankara Metropolitan. \n\nA few months later\, Patr iarch Mor Ignatius Abded Aloho II visited Malankara. It was during this ti me a major rift started in Malankara. Following the autocratic style of fu nctioning & his disobedience of Church laws\, Vattasseril Mor Dionysius th e Malankara Metropolitan was excommunicated by the Patriarch. (the excommu nication would be later lifted by St. Ignatius Elias III Patriarch) On 17 August 1911 the representatives of the Malankara Church met at Thrikunnath Seminary & Mor Coorilos Paulose Kochuparambil was selected as Malankara M etropolitan. Disputes & quarrels became daily occurrences in Old Seminary because of the schismatics led by Mor Dionysius. The ongoing disputes dest royed the peaceful atmosphere in the Old Seminary where Mor Coorilos was r esiding. Mor Coorilos left the Old Seminary for Attamangalam church\, Kuma rakom. Finally\, the rest of his days were spent at Panampady church & Pir avom church. \n\nWhile continuing missionary work\, overseeing Church affa irs & traveling far & wide to defend the true faith\, the health of Mor Co orilos began to deteriorate. He gave his final Kalpana on 2nd Thulam 1917 from Panampady Church\, which was heart touching. Mor Coorilos Paulose\, w ho had fought the good fight\, & protected the true faith\, passed away on 14th December 1917. His last rites were led by St. Athanasius Paulose ass isted by St. Osthatheos Sleebo & Mor Severios Geevarghese (Knanaya diocese ). He was entombed adjacent to the altar of St. Mary’s Church\, Panampad y. Mor Coorilos Paulose Kochuparambil is remembered for his humbleness\, m issionary zeal\, service of the downtrodden & his unflinching loyalty to t he Holy Throne of Antioch. In 2008 vis Patriarchal Apostolic Bull No. E215 /08\, he was glorified as a Saint by Patriarch Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas. In 2017 during the 100th anniversary of his dukhrono\, vis Patriarchal Apo stolic Bull No. E I23/17\; the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East HH Mo ran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II permitted the recitation of the name of St. Coo rilos Paulose Kochuparambil in the 5th Thubden (Thubden d-Qadishe) at all Malankara parishes across the world. \n\nBiography courtesy of\, 'Martyrs\ , Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church' and Syriac Christiani ty website. \n\nOh Mor Coorilos Paulose Kochuparambil!
