The St. Alphonsa Syro Malabar Community is a Catholic parish that holds Qurbana (Mass) at 4:00pm on Sundays in our church. We at St. Richard have treasured this relationship for decades.

Syro Malabar Church traces its origin to St. Thomas the Apostle, who came to the Malabar coast of southern India (now the state of Kerala) in 52 A.D. and established seven churches. In the 19th century, the Vatican assigned the name “Syro Malabar Church” to this Christian community, which is in Full Communion with the Roman Catholic Church.

You are welcome to participate in this Sunday afternoon Mass and fellowship any time!
