The month of July we the Malankarites here are blessed by God by commemorating the remembrance of our two forefathers St.Thomas and Servant of God Mar Ivanios.  On 10th July all the Malankarites  in Edmonton and other well wishers are gathered around the altar  of our Lord in St.Thresa's Roman Catholic Church Edmonton at 3.30pm for celebrating the day of Mar Ivanios.  Amidst of solemn Holy Mass we offered "Doopa Prathana" in front of the picture of Mar Ivanios which is specially decorated in the sanctuary and give thanks to God for all the blessings we received through the intercession of Mar Ivanios.  Before the beginning of Holy Mass we recollect about his life style, sufferings that he faced at the time of reunion, his contribution to the Church etc.  After the Holy Mass with distribution of "Nercha" the celebration ends.  A picture of Mar Ivanios given to all families.
