Tarapur congregation was later declared as a parish in the blessed name of St. Gregorious of Parumala. Rev. Fr Lazarus OIC was appointed as the first Vicar and permission granted to have Holy Qurbana once in a month. In 1995, His Grace Geevarghese Mar Coorilos, the then Assistant Metropolitan of Mumbai Diocese visited the Parish and permitted them to conduct one more Holy Qurbana on Friday evenings once in a month for the benefit of members working in MIDC areas. The prayer hall is common to other Christian congregations of Tarapur. The services are conducted on the basis of time and space sharing of the prayer hall. There is good co-operation and understanding among these congregations. In 1992, the prayer hall was renovated, the major role where played by Mr P K John, Mr. M I Cherian and Dr Jose Panakkal for the renovation of the church.
