Welcome to feel the love and Grace of our God Almighty at St. Mary’s Indian Orthodox Church. The Indian Orthodox Church is of the families of and in full communion with Oriental Orthodox Churches. The Malankara (Indian) Orthodox Church traces its Christian heritage as far back as A.D.52 when St. Thomas, the Apostles of Lord Jesus Christ who came to India and established Christianity.People of the Indian province were known as the St.Thomas Syrian Christians because of our liturgy (Holy Eucharist) and sacraments were in Syriac (Aramaic) language, from the early times.  The same language is believed to be spoken by Jesus Christ himself . We use the same (western) Syriac language in our holy sacraments and in prayers  even today.  We are delighted that you are in our midst to share the warmth of the Triune God, and especially the love of our Risen Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God.

San Antonio St. Mary's Church - at a glance.

Our parish belongs to DSWA/Diocese of South-West America of Indian Orthodox Syrian Church. This Parish was established in 2010 as a small chapel - with a humble begriming. Ever since the inception, we’re truly blessed and showered with abundant Grace of Lord Almighty and the protection of His invisible "hands" throughout our journey thus far.  

June 28, 2010:  First Holy Qurbana was celebrated by Rev. Fr. M.M Zachariah at the St. Mary’s Orthodox Christian Chapel near Medical Center in San Antonio

December 9, 2010: Our small congregation was promised to be recongnied as a Chapel, at the meeting held at the aramana with HG Alexios Mar Eusebius Metropolitan.

December 26, 2010:  Rev Fr. Mathukutty Varghese conducted Holy Qurbana and read approval Kalpana (pastoral letter) from the Diocesan bishop recognizing our congregations as St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Syrian Chapel.  

January 22, 2011: Diocesan Bishop, HG Alexios Mar Eusebios made the maiden visit to our Chapel on  “St. Mary’s feast for the Seeds” and celebrated Holy Qurbana.   

November 19, 2011: Through prayers and guidance of the Holy Spirit, H. G. Alexios Mar Eusebius, then the Diocesan Bishop declared & elevated Chapel as St. Mary's Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church of San Antonio (Order/Kalpana#: DSWA/CH/58/2011) - which is a full-fledged parish under SW Diocese of America.  And, appointed Rev. Fr. Dr. V C Varghese as the new vicar to the parish.

December 28, 2012: St. Mary's Church San Antonio purchased a newly renovated building at 4990 View Drive in San Antonio.  Diocesan Bishop HG Alexios Mar Eusebios himself signed the "Article of Deed" at the closing on behalf of Malankara Metropolitan as per the Church constitution (perhaps this is the first time ever any DSWA Church’s Deed was signed by the bishop himself).

August 15, 2015: Diocesan Bishop HG Alexios Mar Eusebius Metropolitan, on the Feast of Assumption of Theotokos-2015, laid the foundation stone for the new church building.  

May 14, 2019: Church secured a neighboring property for the additional 40+ car parking, and the phase 1 fellowship hall construction began. We entered the last phase of getting the plans approval by the City.
