Bishop’s Message

It is with great joy that I have learned that the Philadelphia Malankara Catholic Church faithful have decided to make a website of the parish. The longstanding purpose of this website is to provide a handy reference of the unique pastoral ministry of the Philadelphia community to all those who come across this website. Moreover the information conveyed through this site will be a valuable study and an excellent message about the growth potentional of this parish. I firmly believe that the website is the result of the hard work and cooperation of a good number of our parishionairs over there. I wish and pray that the web grant enhanced vigor and dedication to all our people. Let this combined effort of our parish community become great support for the establishment of a strong Malankara parish in Philadelphia. I whole heartedly congratulate Rev. Fr. Joseph, the vicar and all the members of the parish for this good endeavour. I wish every success to the website.

God bless you all,

Bishop Dr. Joseph Mar Thomas,
Auxiliary Bishop of the Major Arch diocese of Trivandrum and the Apostolic Administration
