Announcing the details of the valedictory function of the 50th-anniversary celebrations of St Thomas Orthodox Cathedral scheduled on Friday, church officials said many programmes in the year-long celebrations were called off to divert the money for flood relief. Worshippers, the majority of who hail from Kerala, also generously contributed to the church’s management which donated Rs200,000 to the state Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund and directly helped 130 families affected by the deluge in August. “In total, we have spent Rs10million for Kerala flood relief,” said vicar Fr Ninan Philip Panackamattom. Most of the beneficiaries had suffered massive destruction to their houses, he said. 3000 families are part of the St Thomas Orthodox Cathedral in Dubai This was one of the various charitable activities that the church has done in line with the ethos of tolerance and generosity held high by Dubai government, the vicar said. “We had also organised a mass blood donation camp to mark the Year of Zayed.” On January 4, the church will organise another event to donate hair for cancer patients. The main highlight of Friday’s day-long official event will be the presence of Baselios Marthoma Paulose II, the Supreme Head of the Indian Orthodox Church, who celebrated Christmas with workers at a labor accommodation in Dubai on Tuesday. Major General Abdullah Khalifa Al Merri, commander-in-chief of Dubai Police, will be the chief guest at the public meeting in the evening. Apart from heads of some congregations from India, Malayalam film actors and Indian parliamentarians Innocent and Suresh Gopi will also be present.
