Brother Mario Joseph needs no introduction in the religious and social arena of Kerala. He had served as an islamic scholar and imam before knowing and believing the only true God Jesus Christ. Proclaiming the Good News among the masses particularly the muslim world is one of his main missions. For the attainment of this Calling and to extend other charitable services to humanity, he has started a ministry with the support of his wife and team, by name Philokalia Foundation.
The Greek word Philokalia means 'Love of the Beautiful/Holy/Exalted'. Through this foundation Br Mario Joseph and his team strive to extend any and every service possible to the society without any religious or racial barriers. They have been distributing food kits to the needy in this pandemic situation. They also provide medical services to the poor. Another remarkable service venture initiated by them is constructing houses for the homeless.
I am writing this article especially to bring to the notice of the public another novel but very essential venture Philokalia foundation launched recently. It is providing a free matrimonial bureau for serving the unmarried youth of the Christian community. It is the vital need of the hour. Many Christian youths above 30 years are remaining unmarried in Kerala for various reasons. The Church wants and advises everyone to get married at the prescribed age of 21, but unfortunately, it is not taking any steps to attain this objective. And the online matrimonial websites directly being run by the Church in Kerala are also running on par with the fully commercial matrimonial websites that extract high fees.
Bro Mario Joseph in a video announcement made it clear that upon receiving applications from eligible bachelors and spinsters for marriage, their team will personally visit their homes know and verify the details, and find suitable partners for the singles. The Mario couple who are professional soft skills trainers will provide pre-marital and post-marital training to the candidates also.
At this juncture, the Christian community is congratulating Bro Mario Joseph and his wife Gigi for coming forward to introduce such a great service that would be very beneficial for the present and future Church of Kerala.
