St. Mary's Church
The bishops and priests who shepherd our parish in the apostolic faith of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church.
“I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.”
Our parish is shepherded by the Catholicos of the East and the Metropolitan of our diocese.

H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios Metropolitan
A parish is a family gathered around the altar — here, everyone has a place at the Lord's table.
Fr. Varghese shepherds St. Mary's with a heart for the poor and a deep love for the Holy Qurbana. With gentle wisdom he guides the spiritual and pastoral life of the parish, welcoming all who come seeking God's grace.
Together with the Vicar, our elected committee cares for the administration and temporal life of the parish.
