I am very happy to know that the Vamsham Family Association, a group of Tharavat members, is publishing a family directory. I believe that this will be a historical record for the members of this Tharavat.In this era when the joint family system later evolved into the nuclear family, and relationships and life became a dull family, such associations are proof that the concept of 'family' continues to have a meaning and scope. The words "When you gather in my name, I will be in your midst" become relevant through such activities.This directory that you are publishing should be a record of mutual recognition and relationships. I extend my warmest greetings and blessings to the office bearers and members of the Vamsham Family Association who have worked towards this.
"May the good God bless you"

The Archdiocese of Thrissur is celebrating its 125th Jubilee Year as a Year of Communion. In this context, the fact that the family is publishing a family directory is proof that you, along with the Archdiocese, are making the Year of Communion meaningful.The Directory is a book that tells the story of relationships. May it help family members get to know each other better, rekindle their love for each other, and above all, pass on the depth and breadth of our faith heritage to new generations.I heartily congratulate all those who have worked tirelessly for this directory. I pray that the Almighty God will bless you abundantly as your community grows stronger and stronger, standing firm in faith.
Your loving Father in Jesus
