In a gesture of respect and cordiality, Kerala’s esteemed Governor, Shri Arif Mohammed Khan, paid a visit to His Eminent Beatitude Cardinal Moran Mor Baselios Cleemis Catholicos, the Major Archbishop-Catholicos of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, at Pattom Aramana. The visit, held in connection with the Feast of His Eminence’s Name Day, was a testament to the deep mutual respect shared between these eminent leaders.
Shri Arif Mohammed Khan, who was invited as the chief guest for the Name Day celebrations, graciously conveyed his wishes to His Beatitude during this early visit, as his official schedule requires him to assume the role of Governor of Bihar on 2 January 2025. This personal gesture highlighted his commitment to honouring the significant occasion, despite his upcoming responsibilities.
A Heartfelt Exchange of Gratitude
During the meeting, His Eminent Beatitude Baselios Cleemis Catholicos expressed profound appreciation for the contributions of Shri Arif Mohammed Khan to Kerala’s cultural and social development during his tenure as Governor. His Beatitude also extended special gratitude for the affection and support the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church has consistently received from Shri Khan.
The Catholicos lauded Shri Khan for his leadership, which has fostered harmony and inclusivity in the state, and presented him with blessings for his new role in Bihar. The Governor, in turn, extended his warm wishes for His Beatitude’s continued spiritual leadership and the flourishing of the Malankara Syrian Catholic community.
A Memorable Moment of Mutual Respect
This meeting at Pattom Aramana was a reminder of the enduring bond between Kerala’s secular leadership and the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church. Shri Arif Mohammed Khan’s visit underscored his respect for Kerala’s diverse cultural and spiritual heritage, and his presence at this significant occasion served as a symbol of the shared commitment to peace and unity.
As Shri Khan prepares to embark on his new journey as the Governor of Bihar, the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church extends prayers and blessings for his continued success in serving the nation with the same dedication and grace he displayed in Kerala.
