 Much
before His Grace was proclaimed as the first saint of Malankara Church
in 1947, devotees have been thronging the Parumala Church, his abode,
seeking His Grace’s intercession. Born in 1848; ordained as
deacon at the age of 10, as priest at the age of 18, as Ramban at
the age of 24 and as Episcopa at the age of 28, His Grace was aptly
called “Kochu Thirumeni” (young bishop) first, and later
“Parumala Thirumeni” by the devotees of all castes and
creeds, who sought His Grace’s intercession and got solace.
Saint Gregorious of Parumala lead a simple pious life; worked hard
for the church, for social justice and for promotion of education
and against casteism and untouchability. Saint Gregorious was called for heavenly abode
in 1902 at the age of 54. More and more devotees throng Parumala every
year seeking the intercession of St.Gregorious.
