St. Gregorios Orthodox Church

St. Gregorios Orthodox Church is a Malayali religious institution in Valley Stream, New York serving the Kerala community and preserving Kerala Christian traditions for local Malayalis. Located in Nassau County on Long Island, this church has been a spiritual home for Malayali families, offering a place where they can worship in their native Malayalam language while maintaining the ancient liturgical traditions of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church that have been cherished in Kerala for centuries.

The church offers Holy Qurbana and prayer services conducted in Malayalam with traditional Syriac elements, sacraments including baptism, holy matrimony, and confession, Sunday School programs teaching children about Kerala Christian heritage and Malayalam language, and active community organizations such as MGOCSM (Malankara Orthodox Church Students Movement), Martha Mariam Samajam (women’s organization), and other spiritual groups. As part of the Northeast American Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, St. Gregorios provides pastoral care, celebrates all major feast days according to the Kerala Christian calendar, and organizes community events that bring Malayali families together in faith and fellowship.

For Malayali families seeking authentic Kerala Christian worship without language barriers, St. Gregorios offers the cultural comfort of Malayalam services and the community connection of worshiping alongside fellow Keralites. The church understands Kerala cultural customs and provides a welcoming space where families can practice their faith while passing sacred traditions to younger generations.
