Our Vicar

A spiritual home for every generation.

Fr. Joel welcomes you to St. Gregorios Orthodox Church in Garland, Texas. Our parish belongs to the Diocese of South-West America of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, under His Grace Dr. Thomas Mar Ivanios.

In his welcome to the parish, Fr. Joel describes a community with ministries for every age and an open invitation to people throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area. He encourages visitors to explore the parish’s resources and join us in worship.

“I invite you to come worship with us and I look forward to meeting you.”

His message closes with a prayer that the intercessions of St. Gregorios of Parumala will strengthen our parish family.
