The St. Thomas Indian (Malankara) Orthodox Church in Ireland had its existence from the early 21st century, however, was formally declared as a Parish in 2006 by H.G Dr. Thomas Mar Makarios. The church is part of the Orthodox (Oriental) family and trace their roots to the Indian Christian community of St. Thomas’ tradition. The Church has evolved as a center for worship, education, social sensitivity and philanthropy under the great and blessed intercessions of St. Thomas, their patron saint.

The roots of the parish were planted by a small orthodox community from the Southern part of India (Kerala).

The parish had its humble beginnings as a prayer group and later became a Congregation. As more and more Indian Orthodox members started coming to Ireland, the parish started growing and it continues to grow steadily.
