The Malankara Archdiocese of the Syrian Orthodox Church in North America is
a non-profit religious organization in the United States, incorporated
in the State of New York. The Archdiocese is under the ecclesiastical
jurisdiction of His Holiness the Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, Moran
Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, the Supreme Head of the Universal Syrian Orthodox
Church. This Archdiocese comprises of the parishes all over the United States
and Canada for the people predominantly from India who follow the Syriac
tradition. The Church uses the Syriac language, a dialect of Aramaic
spoken by Lord Jesus, as the Liturgical language
along with English & Malayalam, a vernacular language of South India.
Here we hope to present the
principles, faith and organization of the church and its related entities. We
intend to keep this site as dynamic as possible by bringing in information
related to the church as they become available. This will serve as a reference
platform for all the activities under the Malankara Archdiocese. Please
feel free to browse and we hope you will find something valuable before you
leave.
