About this church

St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Church of Boston, located in Maynard, gathers for worship on Sunday mornings. Morning Prayers begin at 8:30 a.m., and the Holy Eucharist runs from about 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. The parish belongs to the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church of India, one of the Oriental Orthodox churches, and uses the Syrian Orthodox Liturgy of the Antiochene tradition. Services are conducted mostly in Malayalam, with the Eucharist offered in English once a month, on the fourth Sunday according to the timing page. Children take part in worship along with the adults.

Sunday School meets after the Eucharist, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., for students from kindergarten through grade 12. Sessions include learning songs, reciting Bible verses and prayers, storytelling and elocution practice, and lessons on the symbolism of the Holy Qurbana. Other groups include the Martha Mariam Samajam, the MGOCSM student movement, and parish prayer groups. Evening Prayers are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 6:30 p.m., with an intercessory prayer on Wednesday evenings and a monthly Saturday-evening prayer meeting that includes songs, Bible reading, and a devotional talk. The parish keeps Saint Mary as its patron and holds its church festival in early September. The website also offers directions, a church calendar, and a YouTube channel.
