Message from our President
Dear members of Palathinkal Kudumbayogam,
As president, I am greeting everyone through this Vartha Pathrika. I was elected as the president of our Kudumbayogam in the AGM held on 1-5-2013 and I sincerely thank all members for it. I also use this opportunity to thank the outgoing president, Mr.Bhasi Joseph Ipe for serving the Kudumbayogam for five years as president and devoting his valuable time.
In the last News letter Mr.Bhasi expressed his desire to step down and hand over the reigns to a much younger and energetic person. Unfortunately I, his successor do not fulfill either of these qualifications. Anyway I hope to discharge my duties to the best of my ability and I expect the whole hearted support and co-operation from all of you. Two executive committee meetings were held after the last AGM. I thank Mr.P.K.Kurian (Kunjumon) Palathinkal and Mr.K.T.Philipose, Kalathoor for hosting the meetings on 25-7-2013 and 6-10-2013 respectively. Mr.Isaac George Palathinkal, Bangalore has donated a sum of Rs 100,000/- on 26-8-2013 for forming a fund with the name ‘Palathinkal Kunju-Aleyamma Chikitsa Sahaya Nidhi’ in memory of his parents. The annual interest of this amount is to be used for the medical treatment of deserving persons. The Kudumbayogam hereby expresses its thanks and appreciates this kind gesture. Before concluding this letter I request everyone to inform me or any member of the executive committee of the Kudumbayogam about the important events in our families like births, marriages, achievements, deaths, etc so that this can be brought to the notice of other members through this Vartha Pathrika.
With warm regards,
P.J.Issacs – President 7A, Skyline Hill View Muttambalam P.O, Kottayam 686 004 Mob 9497089624, Res 0481 2574044 Email: [email protected]

Ephesians 5:22 -25, 28
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church,
his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their
husbands… Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her… In the same way husbands should
love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”
