The Holy Qurbono

Our Eucharistic liturgy follows the ancient Anaphora of St. James, sung in Malayalam with Syriac roots: unhurried, incense-filled, and deeply participatory.

The Holy Qurbono begins at 9:00 AM every Sunday. Come a little early; the preparatory service of the Thuyobo begins before the public liturgy, and the church fills quickly on feast days.
