Our Parish

 In 1976, parishes outside Kerala were re-organized and grouped under the Diocese of Bombay. The then Diocesan Metropolitan HG. Dr. Thomas Mar Makarios on his episcopal visit declared the congregation as a Parish with St. Gregorios of Parumala as its patron saint. Rev. Fr. Abraham Aluckal (now bishop Mar Severios) was appointed as the first vicar of the parish. In the 1979 re-organization of the dioceses, the London Parish came under the Diocese of Delhi and had the privilege of pastoral care of eminent scholar late Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios who visited the parish on a regular basis. When the new Diocese of Europe, UK and Canada was formed in 1993, this parish came under the jurisdiction of the elite late Dr. Thomas Mar Makarios. With the establishment of the new diocese of UK-Europe and Africa in 2009, H.G. Dr. Mathews Mar Thimothios took charge as the Metropolitan. The Parish is ever grateful for the relentless services of Rev. Fr Abraham John (late lamented Paulose Mar Pachomios), Rev. Fr. Mathews M. Daniel, Fr. Philipose Thomas (late lamented Philipose Mar Eusebios), Late Ver. Rev. Kuriakose Cor-Episcopa, Rev. Fr. O. Thomas, Rev. Fr. George Kurian (H.G. Geevarghese Mar Coorilos), Rev. Fr. V.M. James (H.G.
