MGOCSM Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement (MGOCSM) is the student wing of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. The students and senior leaders of our church who were residing in Madras (Chennai), India in the early part of this century felt the need for an organization to bring together our students in various colleges and high schools with a view to deepening their spiritual life and to create in them a livelier sense of fellowship. So they founded the Syrian Student Conference in 1907 and first conference was convened on January 1st, 1908 at Tiruvalla, Kerala, India. Annual conferences have been a regular feature since that year. The Syrian student conference, the parent organization, assumed its present name MGOCSM in 1960. Ours is the oldest Christian student organization in India. Our motto is Worship - Service - Study. We have a very active MGOCSM unit in our parish. The members meet almost every week after the Holy Eucharist on Sundays. In addition to the regular prayer meetings, the MGOCSM unit organizes monthly payer meetings and Bible study sessions at the members’ residences. It is also very active at the Diocesan level.
