A Home of Faith
in New Jersey
Thank you for visiting the St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Church, Clifton, New Jersey website. Our parish was founded in September 1976 in West Orange, NJ by Rev. John Mathews, and is named after St. Gregorios of Parumala — the first Indian saint to be canonized.
We are one of the oldest parishes in the American diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, a tradition that traces its origins to St. Thomas the Apostle, who brought the Christian faith to India in AD 52. All are warmly welcome to worship with us.
Our Vicar, V. Rev. Fr. Yesudasan Pappan Cor Episcopa, leads our congregation with devotion. We invite you to join us every Sunday for Holy Qurbana and fellowship.
