About Us

Holy Family Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in Oklahoma City is a Church with Parishioners originally from Kerala, India.  Our Church is part of the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago.  St. Thomas the Apostle founded the Syro-Malabar Church which is also called the Church of St. Thomas Christians, in South India. The State of Kerala in South India is the home of this Church.  Syro –Malabar Catholics began migration to Europe and USA in the late nineteen sixties and seventies in large numbers.  After several studies by Vatican, Pope John Paul II announced the establishment of St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Diocese of Chicago in 2001 to meet the spiritual needs of Syro-Malabar Catholics in the United States and Canada.  In 2001 Syro-Malabar Catholic Mission of Oklahoma was formed and appointed Rev. Fr. George Parackal as the Director. On April13, 2008 Bishop Mar Jacob Angadiath dedicated and inaugurated the Church and Rev. Fr. Davis Cherayath became the first parish priest of Holy Family Syro-Malabar Catholic Church.  Our Church is divided into three wards for prayer and ward meetings.  Currently, a total of 50 families attend the Church.

Our Holy Family Syro-Malabar Church is the result of the hard work, prayers, personal and financial support, and dedication of many people. They deserve our deep appreciation and profound gratitude. By no means, the work in the church is complete. There are several projects to be completed, the foremost being a moderate parish-hall. With God’s help and the support of all our parishioners everything is possible. May God bless our church and our church members!

We invite you to join us each week for Celebration of the Eucharist.  Please see the Mass (Qurbana) schedule.
