He was baptized with the name Geevarghese b ut was fondly called Kochyppora. When he was 2 years old\, his mother pass ed away &\; he was raised heavily by his eldest sister Mariam. Geevargh ese was an ardent lover of Syriac\, so his uncle Fr. Geevarghese malfono t ook him under his wing. He stayed under his tutelage until his uncle passe d away in 1865 due to smallpox. His theological studies continued under Fr . Mathen Konat malfono &\; later under St. Coorilos Yuyakim the Reesh E piscopo &\; the Patriarchal Delegate to India. At the age of 10 he was ordained Quroyo by HG Mor Athanasius Matthews Palakkunnath at St. George J acobite Syrian Church Karingachira. At the age of 18 he was ordained shams hono by St. Coorilos Yuyakim\, followed by priestly &\; Cor-Episcopo or dinations. He was ordained as Raban by HG Mor Dionysius Joseph Pulikkottil II at Marthoman Church Mulanthuruthy (his home parish). At this point in history\, the Syriac Orthodox Church in Malankara was facing the onslaught of Protestant reformists infiltrating the Church\, spreading unorthodox f aith\, deporting Syriac prelates\, arresting priests &\; closing down c hurches. To deal with these problems &\; to reinvigorate the true faith \, under the leadership of Raban Geevarghese\, the grievances of the Malan kara faithful were sent to the Patriarch of Antioch and all the East\, &am p\; his timely intervention was sought to protect the Church in India. The thrice blessed late Patriarch HH Moran Mor Ignatius Peter IV arrived in M alankara in June 1875 at the request of his faithful children. Raban Geeva rghese who was well versed in Syriac was appointed as the interpreter to t he Patriarch. The Patriarch greatly impressed with the young Raban\, chose him also as his private secretary. When the historic Mulanthuruthy Padiy ola was convened in the month of June 1876\, the assistance of Raban Geeva rghese was of much help to the Patriarch. Raban Geevarghese was also prese nt during the Mouron (Holy Myron/Chrism) consecration. On December 10th 18 76\, HH Mor Ignatius Peter IV consecrated Raban Geevarghese as Metropolita n with the title Gregorios at St. Thomas Church North Paravur. Mor Gregori os was only 28 years old at the time which is why he is fondly known as ko chuthirumeni (young bishop). HH Mor Ignatius Peter IV used to call Mor Gre gorios as Yuhannon\, for he was the youngest of all the Metropolitans & \; the one whom HH loved the most. The Bull of HH written on 15 Makaram 18 77 from Fort Kochi Church regarding the correct practices of sacraments &a mp\; discipline was translated &\; published by Mor Gregorios. Mor Greg orios was appointed as the Metropolitan of Niranam diocese. HH would then return to the Patriarchate. During his tenure\, Mor Gregorios established various churches &\; was the motivator to establish schools in differen t parts of Malankara. Mor Gregorios was a man who grasped the value of edu cation for the overall progress of the Church as well as society in genera l. In the late 1890's\, many educational institutions were started by the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church under the initiative &\; guidance of M or Gregorios Geevarghese &\; the Malankara Metropolitan Mor Dionysius J oseph Pulikkottil. With the permission of HH Peter IV\, Mor Gregorios orda ined Fr. Alvares as Raban in 1889 (he would later be consecrated Metropoli tan by Mor Athanasius Paulose). Later Mor Gregorios would consecrate Fr. R ene Vilate as Mor Timotheos at the church of Our Lady of Good Health\, Sri Lanka in 1892.Arikupurathu Korula Mathen executed a deed in favour of the Metropolitan who will be ever loyal to the Patriarch Moran Mor Ignatius s eated on the Holy Throne of Antioch &\; All the East. Thus began the fi rst stage of constructing Parumala Seminary. The construction of the churc h was completed &\; it was consecrated with Holy Chrism on 15 Makaram 1 895. Soon afterwards\, Mor Gregorios left for his Holy Land pilgrimage. Ac companying Mor Gregorios were a number of clergy &\; deacons. Mor Grego rios celebrated the entire Passion Week at the various Syriac Orthodox cha pels in the Holy Land. The travelogue written by Mor Gregorios about his p ilgrimage to the Holy Land was the first in the history of the Malayalam l anguage. On his return\, he collected a certain amount from all the parish es in Malankara &\; sent a Silver Cross as offering to the Holy church in Jerusalem.Even in the midst of all the busy schedules he gave utmost pr iority to prayers &\; fasting. He used to get up at 4am for prayer & \; strictly followed the Church practice of praying seven times a day. He faithfully observed all the Church Fasts\, including the fast on Wednesday s &\; Fridays. He was a saintly figure throughout his tenure as Metropo litan. The strict fasting sadly took its toll on him &\; he became seri ously ill. Mor Gregorios received the Qandilo prayers &\; last Holy Qur bono. While the Metropolitans\, priests &\; others were praying\, Mor G regorios uttered\, "My Lord" &\; breathed his last. Kochu Thirumeni pas sed away on 2nd November\, 1902 &\; his mortal remains were laid to res t the next day at St. Peter's Church Parumala. As per the Apostolic Bull N o. E 265/87 dated 20th October 1987 by HH Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas\, the Patriarch of Antioch\; the name of Mor Gregorios Geevarghese Chathuruthil of Parumala was added to the 5th Thubden (Thubden d-Qadishe) recited durin g every Holy Qurbono. Mor Gregorios Geevarghese Chathuruthil was the epito me of saintliness. He always showed love &\; care for the poor &\; s uffering. He was very particular in following the path of righteousness. H e took special interest in preaching the Holy Gospel of Our Lord among the backward communities &\; many accepted Christ. He also worked hard to uplift the marginalized people even against countless obstacles. Mor Grego rios was also a staunch Antiochian &\; stalwart son of the Syriac Ortho dox Church &\; was steadfastly loyal to the Apostolic See of Antioch fo unded by St. Peter\, the Chief of the Apostles &\; his rightful success or HH the Patriarch. Many miracles are attributed to St. Gregorios. Our Ho ly Church was blessed to have him in this world\, &\; we are further bl essed to have him interceding for us in the next.
