SGIOC - Youth Association

Youth Fellowship

The Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement, or MGOCSM, falls under the Indian Orthodox Church. Its motto is "Worship, Study, and Service". Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student's Movement (MGOCSM), is the student's wing of the Indian Orthodox Syrian Church. The organization owes its name to its patron saint, Mar Gregorios Geevarghese (Parumala Kochuthirumeni), the first saint from the Church, to be venerated. Students from various disciplines are members of our unit. The Vicar of the parish is the President of the unit. A committee, selected annually, headed by the Secretary carries out the routine activities of the Unit. A sincere group of senior friends also help the students in organizing various activities.
