Rev. Fr. Mathew Kunnelpurayidam, Vicar General of the Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia, in his felicitation speech, recollected his memories of Archbishop Mar Gregorios. He highlighted Mar Gregorio’s affection towards nature, as he has witnessed on several occasions, how the great Archbishop valued flowers and plants at his garden and property. Rev. Dr. John Padipurackal, Spiritual Director, KMRM, recalled, how at the age of eleven years, Archbishop Mar Gregorios gave him positive encouragement to become a priest.
