Our Parish Community

Built on Prayer, United in Love

At St Simon's Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church, we are more than a congregation — we are a family bound together by our shared faith in Christ and our commitment to the ancient traditions of the Syrian Orthodox Church.

Our parish offers a sanctuary for worship, a place for spiritual growth through religious education, and a community that extends pastoral care to all in need. Whether you are a lifelong member or a visitor seeking to learn more about our faith, you are welcomed with open arms.

"By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." — John 13:35
