<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Gregorios</strong> Malankara Orthodox Syrian <strong>Church</strong><br />
Oak Park, Illinois<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Gregorios</strong> of Parumala<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Geevarghese Mor <strong>Gregorios</strong> was canonized and proclaimed<br />
as a Saint of the Orthodox <strong>Church</strong> in 1947 by the Holy Episcopal<br />
Synod. The 54 years of his life that he spent physically in this<br />
world was an acknowledgement of the call of God and his dependence<br />
on Him. Thirumeni spent time in constant communion<br />
with God, in prayer and in serving others. He studied and taught<br />
Scripture and Theology. He was a friend of the poor, healed the<br />
sick and was a strong defender of the Orthodox faith. He always<br />
trusted in God and glorified Him even in sickness. He is the patron<br />
saint of our Oak Park parish.<br />
