A Word From the Vicar

"Every soul who walks through our doors is family. May this parish always be a lighted lamp— guiding, warming, and welcoming all who seek Him."

Rev. Fr. Vicar

Mar Thoma Valiyapally, Elanthoor

Our Story

Rooted in Tradition, Growing in Grace

Mar Thoma Valiyapally began as a modest chapel serving a handful of faithful families amid the hills of Pathanamthitta. Over the decades, it has grown into a vibrant parish — yet it has never lost the intimacy of those early gatherings.

Today, we carry forward the sacraments, feasts and daily prayers of our ancestors while opening our doors wide to new generations, new families, and new voices in worship.
