Monippally gathered on 15 November 2026 to honor Monsignor Peter Uralil, five decades after his passing, at the Sacred Heart Knanaya Catholic Church where his tomb rests. Archbishop Mar Mathew Moolakkatt presided over the ceremony and led prayers at the graveside, setting a solemn tone for the day’s events.

Minister Mons Joseph officially opened the memorial meeting, which drew a cross-section of religious and community figures. Auxiliary Bishop Geevarghese Mar Aprem offered a benediction, and former Supreme Court judge Justice Cyriac Joseph delivered the keynote address, reflecting on Uralil’s enduring legacy.

Family members and longtime associates also took the podium to share personal recollections.

Among the speakers were Vicar Fr. Jose Nedungatt, Fr. Jose Kuruppanthara, Sister Bessi of the St. Joseph Congregation, Baby Uralil, Peter Uralil, and Joby Kochuparambil, each adding a layer to the collective memory of a priest still deeply rooted in his birthplace.
