St. Pius X Missionary Society
(M.S.P) Starting from the priests' sanctification day on June 28, 1984_ the priests of this eparchy had several meetings and prayerfully considered the signs of our times with regard to the pastoral and the missionary needs of this eparchy, of its immigrants and of the Church Universal. The general opinion in these meetings was in favor of instituting a Missionary Society of Priests with the object of spreading God's Kingdom through pastoral and missionary ministries in India and abroad, ever continuing the zeal of Knanaya pioneers of the missionary expedition from Mesopotamia to Malankara in AD. 345, and fanning its flames to cope with the missionary exigencies of our times. Those interested in the project, drafted, discussed, and passed the statutes of the Missionary Society of St Pius X and of a supporting organization by the name of the Missionary Association of St Pius X. Bishop Mar Kuriakose Kunnacherry issued the decree of institution on January 6, 1985. On the rolls of the Society, there are now 38 priests, 33 major seminarians and 19 minor seminarians.
