About Us
The Parish is located in Headington, Oxford in the south east of England. Like most of the other Parishes in the Diocese, the Congregation in Oxford had its humble beginnings in prayer meetings held in the area from as early as 2009. It was at the time led by Rev. Fr. John Samuel, the then Vicar of London St. Gregorios Church. Following the request of members in the area, Diocesan Metropolitan HG Dr. Mathews Mar Thimothios granted permission to conduct Holy Qurbana and appointed Rev. Fr. John Samuel as the first Vicar of the St Mary’s Indian Orthodox Congregation in Oxford. The first Holy Qurbana was conducted on December 19th 2009. Members of the Parish participate actively in all Spiritual Organizations such as Sunday School, MMVS, Youth fellowship as well as House Prayer Meetings. The Parish was registered with the Charity Commission England and Wales on 2012 March. Members also actively support all Diocesan programs.
