A Brief History
Tabor Ashram is the
branch of Potta Retreat Center. In 1992, Mr. C. C. Antony donated three acres
of land at Kamba village for Gospel Ministry. Tabor Divine Retreat Ashram was
inaugurated on October 7, 1993. Fr. Antony Kolenchery was appointed as the
first Director of this center and Fr. John Kodiankunnel was the Finance
Officer. Residential retreats from Sunday to Thursday, special services on all
first Fridays, healing services and preaching the Word of God on all Saturdays
and Sundays were the ministries at the beginning. In 1996, Fr. Mathew Elavumkal
VC, the then Director of Potta Ashram was appointed as the Director of Tabor
Ashram and Fr. Martin Kalamparambil became the Assistant Director. Later Fr.
Sabu Adimakkiyil was appointed the Finance Officer. In 2002
Fr. Johnson Enthumkuzhiyil joined
the Tabor Ministries as the Finance Officer when Fr. Sabu Adimakkiyil was
transferred. In May 2003, Fr. Martin Kalamparambil was appointed as the
Director of the retreat centre at Faridabad.
