Patriarch of the Universal Syrian Orthodox Church Igantius Aphrem II will address members of the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church at Puthenkurisu in May during his three-day visit to the State.
Jacobite Church sources said on Saturday that the Patriarch would be coming to Kerala to consecrate a pilgrim centre at Manjanikkara, where he will celebrate the holy Eucharist. He will also celebrate the holy Eucharist at Malekkurisu, another popular pilgrim centre. Meanwhile, a meeting of the legal cell of the Jacobite Church decided to open a legal office in Ernakulam to oversee the conduct of court cases.
The office will be able to better coordinate the conduct of the cases, Church sources said.
