About St Mary's Syro Malab Catholic
St. Mary's Syro-Malabar Catholic Church in West Hempstead serves the Long Island Catholic community as a parish under the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Diocese of Chicago. Established to serve descendants of St. Thomas the Apostle and members of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Major Archiepiscopal Church, the parish is rooted in the rich traditions of Indian Catholic heritage brought by early migrants from India in the 1950s and 1960s. The community welcomes all to participate in the Divine Liturgy and experience the hospitality of their faith-filled congregation. St. Mary's offers services in both Malayalam and English, reflecting its commitment to preserving traditional liturgy while serving contemporary parishioners. The parish actively engages in faith formation, community service through organizations like St. Vincent de Paul, and cultural celebrations honoring saints important to the Syro-Malabar tradition.
