ST George Orthodox Mahaedavaka, konny

The Church is situated at Konni (Konni Thaluk, Pathanamthitta District, Kerala State, India) on the Punalur-Muvattupuzha Highway. The Parish, located on a beautiful hillock at the very heart of Konni Town, was established in 1910 in the name of St. George, our Patron Saint.

The main Thronos of the church is dedicated to St. George, and the other Thronoses are in the name of St. Mary, the Mother of God, and St. Gregorios of Parumala.

The Church caters to the spiritual needs of more than 400 Orthodox families at Konni. The Church celebrated its Centenary in the year 2009-2010. In connection with this grand celebration, several colourful events, programmes and projects including social service, educational and philanthropic activities were organized and completed. Some projects are being done now.

One of the notable and commendable characteristics of the Church is the staunch commitment to and support of the Holy Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church shown by the members of the Parish over the years since the Parish was founded in 1910. The number of the members of the Parish who left the Church and joined other Christian denominations is relatively negligible.

Besides this, St. George Orthodox Maha Edavaka adds to the grace, serenity, tranquillity and beauty of Konni which is historically famous for communal harmony and peaceful co-existence of people of different religions and denominations. Therefore, we are very proud to say that St. George Orthodox Maha Edavaka is a real blessing to all the people in the area.

Let us thank and bless the Triune God Almighty for establishing the Church and sustaining and keeping it in a blessed manner.

May God Almighty bless all the members of the Parish and all who come into contact with it. May the Holy intercession of St. Mary, the Mother of God, St. George and St. Gregorios of Parumala be a blessing to all
