Mar Thoma Church of Montreal

Mar Thoma Church of Montreal is a part of the Mar Thoma Syrian Church, which is a part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, is one of the ancient Churches in the world. It is traditionally believed that St. Thomas (Mar Thoma in Syriac), the disciple of Jesus Christ came to India in AD 52 and established the Church in Kerala, India.

The Church believes in Jesus Christ, the God incarnate for the redemption of humankind, and in the Triune God revealed by him, who himself is one among the Trinity. The Church cherishes its Oriental heritage and Episcopacy as a gift of God. The Church accepts the Holy Bible as the basis for all matters of faith and doctrine, and the Nicene Creed formulated in accordance with the Holy Scripture. The Church is regarded as a ’bridge’ church in the Ecumenical world.

The Church is under the care of the Diocese of North America and was established as a charitable trust in Canada in the year 1984.  Our journey from a small prayer group to an accepted Congregation and then as a Parish of the Mar Thoma Church was a far-off vision of many believers in the province of Quebec, to be able to worship in their own denomination, but that came to fruition by the Almighty’s grace.

Our Church is the only Mar Thoma Church in the Province of Quebec. We have had the privilege of a full-time Vicar beginning in 2023. Church has a vibrant Sunday School, Youth Fellowship, Choir, Sevika Sangham, Senior Citizen’s Fellowship, and monthly prayer group. These organizations cater to the spiritual needs, nurture Christian character, impart Biblical instruction, and provide opportunity for social interaction to each age group. We are a small community that praises God for His amazing grace that sustained and guided us in our growth thus far.
