The actual inception of the St. Paul's Fellowship occurred during the 2002 archdiocesan family conference, during which members from many churches acknowledged an absolute need for an organized body that addressed spiritual growth for men. Similar to the St. Mary's Women's League (Martha Mariam Samajam), this parallel organization was created to supplement Christian development in the lives of our men. As stated on the official Archdiocese website, the objectives of this fellowship are to:

1) Participate in, as well as lead, Gospel study
2) Plan joint activities with the St. Mary's Women's League in the areas of family life
3) Learn to raise children in the traditions of our church
4) Constantly foster spiritual growth
5) Help those in need of social and spiritual nurturing
