Marth Mariam Vanitha Samajam (MMVS) is a prominent spiritual organization within the Malankara Orthodox Church, open to all women aged 18 and above. Founded in 1928 under the patronage of the Late Very Rev. M.C. Kuriakose Ramban and led by Mrs. K.M. Annamma along with her dedicated co-workers, the organization is named in honor of the Blessed Mother Mary, our interceding saint. The primary mission of MMVS is to uplift women both spiritually and socially, fostering Christian values within families, churches, and communities. Through its initiatives, MMVS empowers women to grow in faith and service, contributing to the overall spiritual life of the Church.

Motto
The motto of the Samajam since the beginning has been “Pray, Act, and Shine” as Jesus taught us to pray, He asked us to help the needy, and He called us to be “The Light of the World”.
