Welcome!
Welcome to St Thomas Syro Malabar Church of Hartford. We are a vibrant community of Malayalee Catholic families residing in the Hartford county and neighboring cities. We felt the desire to establish a Community to preserve our identity and to inculcate the tradition to our children. Our core values derived from a rich heritage which is rooted in the culture, traditions and beliefs of the centuries old Catholic Community in Kerala, India. We meet Sunday for Holy Mass (Qurbana), followed by an informal social gathering. We welcome you to our dynamic and ever growing Community. May St. Thomas, the patron of our parish intercede for you and your family. All are welcome!
