Organization
Sevika Sangham

The Sevika Sangham is an active organization of the Mar Thoma Church, established at the 1919 Maramon Convention. It enables women to participate in the life and mission of the Church. The Sevika Sangham organization of the St. Mathew's Mar Thoma Church, Toronto was formed on September 16th, 2001.

The Sevika Sangham reaches out to the community by supporting evangelists, orphanages and medical missions. Vanitha Bodhini is its publication. Sevika Sangham provides financial support for marriage and housing for the needy and also supports missionary work in rural areas.

The women participate in activities within the parish by visiting the sick in the hospitals, helping out their families in time of necessity and calling on senior citizens to spend quality time with them. To strengthen the spiritual life among the members, the Sevika Sangham meets regularly for Bible study and prayer. It organizes one day retreats and a Sevika Sangham Day is observed once a year, when the women lead the worship service.

To strengthen the spiritual life within the group, the Sevika Sangham meets regularly for Bible study and prayer. We have prayer cells being held every Tuesday in the Mississauga and Brampton areas. These prayer cells have been spiritually very enriching to our members. On the fourth Tuesday of every month, a Bible Study session is held for both areas combined, led by the Vicar. We are continuing to study the book Experiencing the Heart of Jesus by Max Lucado. The Sevika Sangham members also have regular prayer meetings on the third Saturday of every month. These prayer meetings are usually held at residences of our members. Some special events being planned by the Sevika Sangham in 2009 are a visit to a Womens Shelter, and a Family Retreat.
