St. Mary’s Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church Norway

"Lorem ipsum dolor sample simply dummy ipsum dolor sample simply dummy text"

St. Mary’s Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church, Norway was founded in 2010. Rev Fr. Eldhose Vattaparambil came to Denmark in the year 2009 and to fulfil his desire to conduct Holy Qurbana in Scandinavia, the Catholicose H. B. Aboon Mor Baselius Thomas I, gave him permission to conduct Qurbana. The first Holy Qurbana of this church was conducted by Rev Fr. Eldhose Vattaparambil on 23-01-2010 at Våre Frue Kirke Church, Porsgrunn in southern Norway. To this day, Rev Fr. Eldhose Vattaparambil is serving as the vicar.

Since most of the families of the Church resided in and around Oslo, later in the year 2010 the members of the church decided to conduct Holy Qurbana in Oslo. From then onwards Holy Qurbana is conducted bi-monthly at Kristi Freds Kirke, Eikeli, Oslo and later the congregation was formed. The church was started with just three families, but now we have around fifteen families regularly attending the church. The congregation is now under the MSOC, European diocese and H. G. Dr. Kuriakose Mor Theophilose is the Patriarchal Vicar of Europe.

The church and its parish members engage in a variety of activities such as Sunday School, Vanitha Samajam, bi-weekly prayer meetings, Christmas carol etc. To maintain a strong bond among its members, the church organizes annual summer trips to beautiful scenic locations in Norway. The church encourages and guides its younger generation to stay closer to the culture and heritage of Kerala. The church emphasizes and helps its children to learn the church liturgy in Malayalam. The fund raised during the Christmas carol is spent to educate children in Kerala, who require financial aid.

The Church celebrates its foundation day perunnal on 23rd January every year and it also celebrates the Feast of Assumption (Vangippu Perunnal) on 15th August with a Rasa.

We cordially invite you to come and participate in our liturgical services.
