****************************************************************** Cherupushpa Mission League ****************************************************************** Cherupushpa Mission League ( CML ) is the biggest Missionary Organisation for Laity in Asia.

Abraham Pallaattukunnel) and Late V. Rev. Fr. Joseph Malipparambil who was the founder Director of CML. When India got independence, most of the foreign Missionaries had retired from their activities and they returned to their home countries. The Mission activities across the country got stagnated due to the scarcity of dedicated Missionaries. During this period Mr. P.C. Abraham Pallaattukunnel was inspired by the words of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII - “The Salvation of India is in her Sons itself”. He was motivated by Blessed Sr. Alphonsa of Bharananganam and he decided to do something to boost the Mission activities across the sub continent. Accordingly he met Rev. Fr. Joseph Malipparambil who was the Assistant Vicar of Bharananganam and shared his wishes. At last they have decided to start an organisation –“Cherupushpa Mission League” to foster Vocation Promotion and to help Mission Activities across the country by means of Man, Money and Prayers. CML was inaugurated on the 3rd of October 1947 by the Aux. Bishop of the Diocese of Kottayam Mar. Thomas Tharayil at Bharananganam. Following were the first members of CML 1. Rev. Fr. Joseph Malipparambil 2. Mr. P.C. Abrabam Pallaattukunnel (Kunjettan) 3. Mr. T.T. Mathew Thekkumkattil 4. Mr. M.K. Joseph Maramattom 5. Mr. P.J. Thomas Palaplackal 6. Mr. T.T. Mathew Thakidiyel 7.
