Syro-Malabar Mass started at
R.K. Puram St. Thomas Church
15 years back. It was mostly
priests of Delhi archdiocese
and priests from Vidya Jyothi
that celebrated the liturgy.
After 1995, Fr. Sebastian
Vadakumpadan, Fr. John, Fr.
Joshy, Fr. Baiju, Fr. George
Podipara and Fr. Benny served
the community in succession.
By the year 2000, Fr. Justin
Puthussery was appointed
priest in charge of the
centre, which boosted the
community organisation through
house visits, choir group etc.
Fr. Thomas from the diocese of
Kottayam served the community
after Fr. Justin. Syro-Malabar
Mass was not regular since
there were Latin masses in
between.
Fr. Thomas Valookaran took
over in 2003 and mass began to
be celebrated regularly. The
Mass Centre was raised to a
Personal Parish on June 15,
2005 by His Grace Archbishop
Vincent Concessao and Fr.
Thomas Valookaran was
appointed Parish Priest. On 12
February 2008, Fr. Thomas
Chirackal Manavalan took
charge of the parish and on
22nd May 2009 Fr. Vakkachan
Kumpail was appointed as the
parish priest. Feast
of St. Peter in July,
Christmas and Holy Week
services are celebrated
solemnly.
