History & Foundation

St. Peter’s Syriac Orthodox Church, Mississauga, Canada is a proud member of the Malankara Archdiocese of the Syrian Orthodox Church in North America, under the steadfast leadership of His Eminence Mor Titus Yeldho.

On July 2, 2003, our parish was established as the Second Syriac Orthodox Church in Canada under the Malankara Archdiocese. We celebrated our first Holy Qurbana with the blessings and profound guidance of the late His Holiness Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka Iwas, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East. The establishment of this spiritual home was made possible through the facilitation of His Grace Mor Yulius Kuriakose, First Secretary to the Patriarch and Patriarchal Assistant for Malankara, and the first Holy Qurbana was celebrated by Very Rev. Fr. Jos Thomas Corepiscopa.

We pledge our unwavering loyalty, obedience, and allegiance to the Holy Apostolic See of Antioch and All the East, honoring the rich traditions, the Syriac language, and the liturgical heritage passed down to us by our forefathers.
