Welcome to Our Church |
|
We welcome you to Mar Baselios Mar Gregorios Orthodox Syrian Church,
Sreekariyam, located in the heart of Trivandrum. Our church is under Trivandrum
Diocese.
Few families of St. George Orthodox Syrian Cathedral, Trivandrum, residing in and
around Sreekariyam formed a congregation in the year 1978. It was this congregation
which paved the path to the establishment of the present parish.
The members of the congregation started a Sunday school in a temporary building
at the present church site. They assembled and conducted prayer meetings on Sundays
in the houses. |

The present church building was constructed and consecrated on 3rd
and 4th February 2000 by H.H. Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma Mathews II, the Malankara
Metropolitan and the Catholicos of the East. We are celebrating 2009-2010 as the
Silver Jubilee year. The present strength of the parish is 151 families.
H.G. Geevarghese Mar Dioscorus, the then Metropolitan of Thiruvananthapuram Diocese
was kind enough to issue a Kalpana to start a new parish at Sreekariyam, declaring
the congregation as an independent parish in the name of the Kapodokian Fathers
- Mar Baselios and Mar Gregorios with effect from 17th July 1985. The Sunday school
building was converted as a church and the first Holy Qurbana was conducted by Rev
Fr. Sam G. Kaleekal. At the time of the formation of the parish, there were only
19 families. The building was renovated and extended twice. |
