Fr.Poothicote  Kuruvila Kunju Thommen, a priest of the Niranam church who lead the  Syrian Orthodox Church as the chief supporter of Malakara Metropolitan Dianacius I during a very perilous situation in Kerala history during the latter half of the 18th century is another great luminary of the period.

Judge Grandpa Kochitty  Kuruvila, the great patriach of Poothicote family stands out without comparison in our family's history.
