Bishop Peter Bernard Pereira (Late)

and his defining contributions to the Socio, Economic and Religious life of his people in the Diocese of Trivandrum…

 

This evening (Saturday, 6th July 2024) an unexpected young friend, Clinton Damien visited me… In our conversation somehow we came to Bp Peter Bernard Pereira of happy memory. In that subject Clinton opened up the migration to ‘Alillathura’ from various parishes of the diocese and even outside and making it ‘Marianad’. The eye opening surprise was that it was also meant to defend the otherwise weak Puthukurichy vis-à-vis Perumathura… Again he surprised me saying that the land was got in exchange for the abdication of church and land of Pallithura Parish for the Thumba Equitorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS).

Was very much sparked by this information/hypothesis, felt the scope for a study and thought of taking up a research… Again, I served both at Pallithura and Marianad and also Cheriyathura where the liberation struggle against the then Communist Government had its martyr, Flory (‘Vimochana Samaram’) led by the late bishop.
