⛪On Friday, October 3, 2025, we gathered for Day 1 of the Feast of Mor Baselios Yeldho (+1685). Our Archbishop H.E. Mor Titus Yeldho graced us with his presence for the Evening and Soothara Prayer. We were also blessed by the presence of Rev. Fr. Thomas Kora, vicar of St. Mary's, Livermore, and Rev. Fr. Anush Jacob, vicar of St. Stephen's, San Jose along with our own vicar Rev. Fr. Kuriakose Puthuppady.

✝ After the evening prayer, Rev. Fr. Anush Jacob gave us a short sermon about the life, journey and final days of Mor Baselios Yeldho in Malankara. This was followed by a beautiful performance by our St. Basil's Choir team.

✨Following the benediction, we moved to the cafeteria, where our Sunday School students blessed us with their dance, music and singing performances.

May the prayers and blessings of Mor Baselios Yeldho be with us always! 🙏
