About the Mission

The Sacred Heart Syro Malabar Catholic Mission, St. Louis, Missouri, is affiliated with the Syro Malabar Diocese of Chicago. It was established on October 8, 2023, blessed and inaugurated by Bishop Mar Joy Alappatt.

Below are the five primary purposes of the mission:

  • To provide a spiritual home and sanctuary for individuals and families of Syro Malabar heritage in St. Louis, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
  • To celebrate the rich traditions, rituals, and liturgy of the Syro Malabar Church, ensuring the preservation and transmission of our cultural and religious heritage to future generations.
  • To promote spiritual formation and education, equipping members of all ages with the knowledge, values, and practices necessary to live out their faith authentically in today’s world.
  • To engage in charitable works and social justice initiatives, embodying the gospel values of compassion, justice, and solidarity with the marginalized and vulnerable.
  • To collaborate with other Syro Malabar parishes and Catholic communities across the United States, fostering unity, interaction, and mutual support in advancing the mission of the Church and building strong network.

If you are interested in becoming a part of the mission or would like to learn more about the mission, please reach out to anyone in the mission council.

This marks a significant milestone in the faith journey of our First Communion recipients as they receive this sacred sacrament. Additionally, it brings great joy to our mission community as we organize our inaugural First Communion service. We express our heartfelt gratitude to Bishop Mar Joy for gracing us with his presence on this historic occasion!
