Eparchy of Saint Thomas the Apostle

The Eparchy of Saint Thomas the Apostle is a regional church jurisdiction within the Eastern Catholic Churches, specifically serving Indigenous Catholics in the United States who follow the Syro-Malabar Rite—an ancient Christian tradition from India. It is led by a bishop and functions similarly to a diocese in Western Catholicism, overseeing churches, clergy, and community programs. The eparchy nurtures the spiritual life of its members, preserves their unique liturgical practices, and fosters cultural heritage, while remaining in communion with the worldwide Catholic Church.
