A heartwarming moment of ecumenical unity unfolded at Parumala Hospital (St. Gregorios Multispecialty Hospital) as a Catholic delegation from the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, led by Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Destivelle, visited the facility. The delegation was warmly received by H.G. Dr. Yuhanon Mar Chrisostomos, Secretary to the Synod of the Church, Rev. Fr. M.C. Poulose (CEO), Rev. Fr. Thomas Johnson Cor-Episcopa (Finance Coordinator), Fr. Jiju Varghese (Chaplain), and Mr. Bobby (PRO).
It goes without saying that Fr. M.C. Poulose, CEO of Parumala Hospital, embodies the ancient Indian ethos of ‘Guest is God’ with a lavish dinner spread for the Catholic delegation! This extraordinary gesture of hospitality reflects the hospital’s commitment to serving with love and compassion.
But the highlight of the visit was when the delegation stumbled upon H.G. Dr. Yuhanon Mar Diascoros, who was overjoyed to reunite with old friends from his days of studying in Rome! The room was filled with laughter and nostalgic memories as they reminisced about old times.
This serendipitous encounter was the cherry on top of an already wonderful visit, showcasing the power of faith and friendship to bring people together across denominations. The visit marks a significant step forward in promoting Christian unity and cooperation.
