Faith, Devotion, and Compassionate Service
Marth Mariam Vanitha Samajam (MMS) is the women’s association of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. It is one of the most active spiritual organizations of the church, bringing together all the female members of the parish. Our unit at St. George Orthodox Syrian Church, Thiruvanvandoor, operates with a deep commitment to fostering spiritual growth, strengthening Christian family values, and engaging in charity.
The Samajam was founded centrally in 1928 to support the spiritual progress of women. The founders named the organization after the Blessed Virgin Mary, accepting her as their interceding saint and role model.
