Mar Gregorios Maha Edavaka, Muscat, has completed its 53 years of existence in the soil of the Sultanate of Oman. We thank God Almighty for the immeasurable mercy and grace that the parish received during these long periods. From a small congregation in 1972, we have now grown into the largest community of Christians in the Sultanate of Oman. Members from different regions like Nizwa, Ibra, Sur, Ibri, Rustaq, Bureimi, etc, all joined this Church for worship. The formation and establishment of two independent churches at Sohar and Ghala are another sign of our growth. The Muscat parish provides all care and support with parental love.
Along with the spiritual needs of the members, we are extending our help and support in the socio-political and economic fields. Our church has contributed substantially to philanthropic activities, health care, social problems, quality education, and many other sectors for a large number of people in Oman and India through its various projects and programmes.
Muscat Mar Gregorios Orthodox Maha Edavaka is the only church outside the Kerala region of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church with the presence of the Holy Relics of two declared Holy saints. Now we are blessed with the presence and protection of these Saints of Mar Gregorios of Parumala and Vattasseril Mar Dionysios. The supreme head of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church His Holiness Moron Mar Baselios Mar Thoma Paulose II along with the Diocesan Metropolitan of this Parish H.G. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Yulios erected the Holy Relics of Sabha Bhasuran Vattasseril Gheevarghese Mar Dionysios on 4th March 2016 at our Maha Edavaka. The Holy Relics of Parumala Thirumeni were also relocated into the newly constructed shrines.
May God bless you all.
