1983
In 1983, a group of dedicated families from St. Mary’s Orthodox Church decided for the spiritual growth of the faith in the Dallas area, to establish a new parish in honor of the Great Holy Father of our Church, Malankara Sabha Parishudhan, St. Gregorios of Parumala. This new parish would become the second Malankara Orthodox Church in the Dallas, Texas area. The first Holy Qurbana was conducted on January 30th 1983 by one of the stalwart priests of the American Diocese – Late Lamented Rev. Fr. Koshy P John.
1990
A new church building was constructed in the city of Garland, Texas, on September 1990 and became the first ever newly constructed church building in the Dallas area, and one of the first in the entire American Diocese.
1991
Rev. Fr. Joseph Kalapurayil became the second vicar of the parish in 1991. Achen was instrumental in establishing the worship infrastructure and the foundation of our day to day operations, until his return to India in 1997.
1996
During the year 1996, we were able to build a beautiful auditorium next to the current church named as MGM Auditorium of Dallas which was consecrated in 1998 by then Catholicos LL H. H. Baselios Mar Thoma Mathews 11.
1997-2012
Rev. Fr. Raju Daniel became the vicar in 1997 and strengthened the spiritual growth of our members; he served the parish until June 1st 2012. Rev. Fr. CG Thomas was our vicar till end of 2018 and now Rev. Fr. Joshua George continues to carry the legacy set forth by his predecessors to lead our parish in all respects.
2016
Looking forward, we laid stone for the new church in the church’s premise by our H.G Alexios Mar Eusebius in 2016. Multiple committees are currently working to accomplish our dream of a new church.
