Martha Mariam Vanitha Samajam of St. Peters Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church of Philadelphia, PA, USA.

 
 The Martha Mariam Samajam is an organization for women of the Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church. This organization was derived to enhance and enlighten the spiritual and social growth of women who seek to promote Christian values within our families and the community at large. We work alongside many different charities helping where we can. The Martha Mariam Samajam acquired its name from the most honored saint of our church, St. Mary, mother of Jesus.

 

Our Martha Mariam Samajam members conduct meetings after Holy Qurbana every Sunday. Bible study, songs, meetings, messages and discussions are lead by our Vicar and members, followed by any business matters and closing prayers. The members of the Martha Mariam Samajam are involved with many other charity and spiritual activities like Social Issues, Health, Justice, Peace, Relief and Ecumenism. Prayer, our main focus, is an important aspect of our daily lives. The role of a woman is important, an example to other members of the family. As wives, mothers, students, employees and homemakers, we lead a life of goodwill and prayer that will be beneficial to all those we come into contact with.
