Orthodox Parish of St.Thomas in Ireland

Our spiritual journey

The roots of our parish were planted over four years ago by a small Orthodox community from the Southern part of India (Kerala). This parish had its humble beginnings as a prayer group and later became a Congregation. On 17th December 2006, it was offically declared as a parish by our diocesan metropolitan. As more and more Indian Orthodox members started coming to Ireland, our parish started growing and it continues to grow steadily…
'My body and blood for you...'
Our parish belongs to the diocese of Europe and Africa, which is headed by H.G.Dr.Mathews Mar Thimothios Metropolitan. The blessed memmory His Grace Dr.Thomas Mar Makarios Metropolitan appointed Rev.Fr.K.M.Koshy Vaidyan as the first Vicar and President of our parish. As per the declaration from His Grace our general assembly formed a parish council and elected a Parish trustee as well as secretary.

Our parish is registered as a charitable organisation under CRO in Republic of Ireland. We are submitting all the required documents in time to the concerned authorities as and when required.

Our parish celebrates Holy liturgy on Sundays and special Feast days. We have all the spiritual organisations under the jurisdiction of the Malankara Orthodox church. ‘The Logos’, our monthly parish newsletter conveys news and events . Our parish maintains a sound ecumenical relationship with her sister churches in Ireland.

It is by His Grace that we are what we are and we believe that his bountiful blessings will shower on. Our story continues......
