St. Thomas Indian Orthodox Church Philadelphia

The St. Thomas Indian Orthodox Church, Philadelphia (formerly known as St. Thomas Malankara Orthodox Church, Inc.) is a parish of the Northeast American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church. The St. Thomas Malankara Orthodox Church came into existence in 1976. During the course of time several other parishes also came into existence in the City of Philadelphia including another St. Thomas Malankara Orthodox Church. It became essential for us change the names to St. Thomas Indian Orthodox Church Inc. just to avoid confusion. In 2005 soon after acquiring the property on 1009 Unruh Avenue, Philadelphia, with the permission of the Diocesan Metropolitan the change of name was processed.
