St. Stephen’s Orthodox Church , Thane

Our Thane Unit, i.e., St. Stephen's Orthodox Church came into existence in the year 1976 though the spade work for Thane Parish began way back in 1967. From 1976 to 1996 we were using St. James – C. N. I Church for our spiritual activities. The long-cherished dream of having our own place of worship in Thane did come true on 26th January 1996 when this Church was temporarily consecrated by the then Asst. Metropolitan of Bombay Diocese His Grace Geevarghese Mar Coorilos in the Charismatic and divine presence and guidance of the Late Lamented His Grace most respected Dr. Philipose Mar Theophilus who was well-known as the Ambassador of Malankara Orthodox Church. It was a miracle that the construction of the Church was completed in a record time of 59 days with the blessings of our patron Saint
St. Stephen. The Church was renovated and consecrated again on 2nd and 3rd of February 2001.
