St. Ignatious Cathedral, Carrollton, Texas

For nearly fifty years, St. Ignatious has been a spiritual home for Malankara Syriac Orthodox families in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Founded in 1977 and named for Mor Ignatius Noorono of Antioch, the early Church father and martyr, our parish was raised in October 2012 by His Holiness Patriarch Ignatius Zakka I Iwas as the first Cathedral of the Malankara Archdiocese in North America.

Today more than 200 families worship here according to the ancient liturgy of the Syriac Orthodox Church – in Malayalam in the Cathedral and in English in our Chapel. From Sunday School to our men's and women's leagues, youth, young adults and senior fellowship, there is a place here for every generation.

Under the spiritual leadership of H.H. Moran Mor Ignatius Aphrem II, Patriarch of Antioch and All the East; H.B. Aboon Mor Baselios Joseph, Catholicos of India; and H.E. Mor Titus Yeldho, Archbishop of the Malankara Archdiocese in North America. Our leaders

ENGLISH CHAPEL


Consecrated on May 6, 2017 by H.E. Theethose Mor Yeldo, our English Chapel was founded so that our youth and young adults could worship and grow fully in the life of the Church. Its vision is to build an Orthodox community where people find transformation and growth in Jesus Christ, through the faith that has been believed, taught, preserved and defended since the Day of Pentecost.
