Servants of Cross

In 1924, H.G. established the 'Servants of Cross', (Sleebadasa Samooham) a monastic missionary movement to care for the upliftment and welfare of the people attracted to the Orthodox faith.
H.G. initially even refused the sacred episcopacy fearing he would be unable to continue to the missionary work of the Church. Later H.G. Pathros Mar Osthathios thirumeni was chosen to shepherd the underdeveloped diocese of Malabar. Today, he is popularly know as 'Malankara Gandhi'.
While the mission faces challenges, the mission is still active and is led by H.G. Zachariah Mar Anthonios thirumeni today.
