- Vishranthi Bhavan Support: The Mar Thoma Sevika Sanghom established Vishranthi Bhavan in Thiruvalla back in 1986 as a housing facility for Sevinis who have retired from their full-time ministry. Unfortunately, over the years, Vishranthi Bhavan has fallen into disrepair and now requires urgent and substantial renovations, particularly in the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms, to raise living conditions to acceptable levels.The Diocese of North America Sevika Sanghom has committed to supporting the repair and renovation of these essential areas for Sevinis who have dedicated their lives to ministry.As per Diocesan Thirumeni ‘s direction, each member of the Sevika Sanghom is encouraged to donate a minimum of $5.00 towards this noble cause. Contributions can be given by cash, check, or electronically to DMTC. A donation box is set-up in the parish hall as well for contributions. Together, let’s extend our compassionate hearts and hands to those who have selflessly served the Lord.
