Dearly beloved in Christ,
We
have come to the time of the Valiya Noyambu (Great Lent). We include the 40
days in which our Lord fasted and 10 days to commemorate the passion of Christ
and together observe 50 days as the lent period. The faithful are urged to
observe some restrictions in eating and drinking and in their life style
during this period.
Yours in His Service,
Babu Achen
Rev. P. E. Mathew

We are blessed to be under the pastoral guidance and leadership of Rev. P. E. Mathew as Vicar of St. Thomas Mar Thoma Church NY. Achen's native place is Kallooppara and Laly Kochmma is from Varikkadu, Tiruvalla. They have one son, Eby, who is finishing his BSc in Mangalore. Achen and family had been in the Karnataka Missions Field (Hoskote, Mundugod, Sirsi Sankeshwar, Kunta) for several years and then served in Kerala. The last parish they ministered at was in the Sultan Bathery and Nilambur area.
