Vision

A Brighter, Broader, Self-confident, United Syro Malabar Church (SMC)

The Syro-Malabar Church is an Oriental (Eastern Rite) Catholic Church, in full communion with the Church of Rome. The Syro-Malabar Church, with its deep-rooted spirituality and high rate of vocations to priesthood, is considered the most vibrant Catholic Church in the world, and has a strength of over 3.8 million believers. It is the second largest of the 22 Oriental Catholic Churches.

Firm devotion, indomitable faith, deep-rooted spirituality, and rich traditions make the Syro-Malabar Church markedly special and vividly alive, making it an integral part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.

Mission of the Global Family: A round table discussion is envisaged among the real members where opinions are shared, heard, moderated. The most important results of the discussions are passed to the Hierarchy and to the other Church Leaders.
