He passed away at around 2.40am on Sunday. Metropolitan Suffragan Geevarghese Mar Theodosius and secretary of Sabha Rev. KG Joseph were present at the hospital.

He was installed as Mar Thoma Metropolitan on October 2, 2007 after the 20th Mar Thoma, Philipose Mar Chrysostom, had expressed his desire to transfer church responsibilities to his successor due to old age and deteriorating health.

Born as PT Joseph in Alakunnathu T. Lukose and the Mariamma couple in Maramon, Pathanamthitta, he was ordained deacon of Mar Thoma Church in June 1957, and priest the same year. Following master’s degrees in Master of Deity and Master of Sacred Theology from England, the metropolitan was later awarded an honorary doctorate of Deity from the Protestant Episcopal Seminary in Virginia, USA.

He was ordained as Ramban in January 1975 and was ordained and given the episcopal title of Joseph Mar Irenaeus a month later. He was appointed suffragette metropolitan on March 15, 1999, when Philipose Mar Chrysostom, the suffragette metropolitan, was appointed service metropolitan.
