Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement (MGOCSM)
Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement (MGOCSM) is the student wing of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. It is the oldest Christian student organization in India. It took shape in 1907, with the founding of the Syrian Student Conference in Madras (Chennai) by the students and senior leaders of our church, who 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. The present name of MGOCSM was taken up in 1960. The motto of MGOCSM is Worship – Service – Study. MGOCSM has been instrumental in providing the platform for many able and outstanding leaders for their service towards the Church.
The current President of MGOCSM is H. G. Dr. Zacharias Mar Aprem Metropolitan, with H. G. Dr. Yuhanon Mar Chrisostomos Metropolitan as the Vice-President. Rev. Fr. Philen P. Mathew is the current General Secretary of this organization. For the Bombay Unit of MGOCSM, Rev. Fr. Jacob Anish Varghese is the Vice-President, with Rev. Fr. Jubin Thomas being the Jt.
