The St. Gregorios Orthodox Church provides opportunities
for people to worship God. When we come into the presence
of our merciful Lord, we become aware of our sinfulness
and ask forgiveness from Him. Our worship consists of
praise, thanksgiving, confession, petition, reading
of the Scriptures, and dedication. The Holy Eucharist
is offered every Sunday, and all the faithful are encouraged
to take part in it.
The Church also provides its members opportunities
for fellowship, study, and service. On special occasions,
lunches are served after the Holy Qurbana. Prayer
meetings are held once in a month in the homes of
our members. The Church emphasizes the importance
of including Orthodox Christian values in its members.
Caring for the poor and the disadvantaged has always
been the concern of our Church.
If you are looking for a church that is orthodox
in doctrine, orthodox in worship, orthodox in values,
come to The St. Gregorios Orthodox Church in Mississuaga.
You are always welcome here.

The Malankara
Orthodox Church was founded by St. Thomas,
one of the disciples of Jesus Christ,
who came to the south most part of
India in A.D. 52. St. Thomas preached
the word of God and converted many people
to Christianity. Over the centuries,
the empire builders who came to India
from the West created divisions among
the Christians in Malankara and several
churches of different denominations
were formed. Our church traces its origins
to the church founded by St. Thomas
and we follow the Eastern Orthodox form
of worship.
