About Our Dioceses

Each diocese in the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church is led by a Metropolitan or Bishop who provides spiritual guidance and administrative oversight to the parishes within their jurisdiction.

Our dioceses are organized geographically to serve the spiritual needs of our members, whether they are in Kerala, other parts of India, or in international communities around the world.

Each diocese maintains its own administrative structure while remaining united with the central church authority, ensuring both local autonomy and global unity in our faith.
