St. Thomas’ Orthodox Syrian Church

Good ambience. Great people

The church I been going since the beginning. Wonderful worship, amazing choir and feel blessed everytime I am there.

A beautiful church on a busy road. For those used to the bollywood version of a church, this would be a very different take.nnVisit during the un-busy days/hours for some moments of quiet and reflection.

St. Thomas Orthodox Syrian Church Kirkee established in 1973 continued to function at All Saints Church, Kirkee. The C.N.I. Bishops were magnanimous in allowing different Christian denominations to use the All Saint Church, allotting different timings. With the growth of the Parish both numerically and geographically, our members felt it imperative to have its own accommodation so that they can worship at their own convienience.nnWith constant efforts of some enlightened members assisted by other Parishioners, our Parish has been able to obtain a piece of land behind Kirkee railway station from the Ministry of Defence, Government of India in 1983. Construction of the Church building commenced when on 6th November 1986 our Diocesan Metropolitan, the late H.G. Dr. Philipos Mar Theophilus laid the foundation stone of the Church building. Within a year the super structure of the Church building was complete. On 12th April 1987, our Metropolitan, the late Dr. Philipos Mar Theophilus conducted the Palm Sunday service in this building. On Monday the 21st December 1987 our parish celebrated St. Thomas Day. On 25th December 1987 Christmas was celebrated in the new premises, still incomplete. The construction work was virtually stopped for two years i.e. 1987and 1988. in 1989, the brick work and plaster of the Church building were taken up. Not much could be done due to paucity of funds. Remains works were taken up only in October 1992. Parishioners Prayers and humble donations all these years showed positive results. The Church in its present form and shape is the gift of God. On 19th and 20th February 1993, the consecration of the Church building at the hands of our Metropolitan, the late H.G. Dr. Philipos Mar Theophilus, assisted by our Assistant Metropolitan H.G.Geevarghese Mar Coorilos and the Metropolitan H.G. Thomas Mar Asthanosius and our Parish Vicar Rev. Fr. Joshua John brings us the most glorious occasion of the St. Thomas Orthodox Syrian Church, Kirkee.

You can't rate place of God below 5 star. A church is nice, clean and tidy. Must visit on Christmas eve.
