Eighth Syro-Malankara Catholic Convention held in Hudson Valley
Beginning on Thursday, August 9, 2012, Malankara Catholics from across the nation gathered together for the eighth national convention. This Convention, the first since the establishment of the Exarchate two years ago, was organized by the Pastoral Council in close consultation with the Bishop of the Exarchate, the Most Reverend Thomas Mar Eusebius. Bishop Eusebius envisioned a Convention wherein people could mingle with each other, pray together, worship together - all in an atmosphere conducive to rest, relaxation, study and prayer.
