MGOCSM
Ministry to bring together students with a view to deepening their spiritual life and to create in them a livelier sense of fellowship.
Moto is “Worship, Study and Service”
The Mar Gregorios Orthodox Christian Student Movement (MGOCSM) originated in 1908 from the Syrian Student Conference in Madras, India, formed by Orthodox high school and university students. Initially focused on promoting a structured spiritual and holistic life, the organization adopted the name MGOCSM in 1960 in honor of the blessed Parumala Mar Gregorios. Over the years, MGOCSM has grown nationally, establishing units in Indian Orthodox churches and evolving into a dynamic and vibrant movement actively involving youth in the church community.
