Parents
His parents, Mr. P.C. Mathew (Karippal Puthenpurayil, Rtd. Principal Sub Registrar, Kottayam) and Mrs. Marykutty Mathew (both 83 years old now) have been a major source of spiritual influence on him. His two brothers (Jacob Mathew, working in Intelligence Bueraeu, Mumbai and Jaison Mathew, a civil Engineer in Kuwait) and four sisters (Kunjumariamma Thomas, Omana Korah, Lovely George and Mini Joshua) have also been very supportive in his spiritual and theological upbringing. He is very proud of his home parish (St. Adais Jacobite Syrian Church, Nalunnakkal) which was blessed by the Apostolic visit of the Supreme Head of the Universal Syriac Orthodox Church, H.H.Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, the Prince Patriarch of Antioch and all the East.

Famous quotes containing the word parents:
“American family life has never been particularly idyllic. In the nineteenth century, nearly a quarter of all children experienced the death of one of their parents.... Not until the sixties did the chief cause of separation of parents shift from death to divorce.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“If a child is feeling disappointed, angry, or afraid about something, you can be sympathetic and understanding. But you don’t need to get into your child’s shoes and become disappointed, angry, or afraid yourself. Parents help by standing by their children, not by taking over their children’s moods and feelings.”
—Saf Lerman (20th century)
“The children of childish parents age quickly.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
