St Thomas Mar Thoma Parish, Kuwait ascended to greater heights under the meticulous leadership of distinguished Achens of the Marthoma Church. Rev. Sunny Thomas as our first vicar led us from May 2007 to April 2010; followed by Rev. Thomas Koshy Panachamootil from May 2010 to April 2013, and Rev. Sunil Joy from October 2013 to April 2016. At present an eminent scholar and great shepherd in Christ, Rev. Bobby Mathew is leading us as our Vicar. Achen’s Baskiomo Ani Kochamma, and children Abhishek, and daughter Ananya support Achen in fulfilling his responsibilities. Organizations of the parish - Edavaka Mission, Yuvajana Sakhyam, Sevika Sanghom, Parish Choir and Sunday School - existed from the beginning of the parish and are functioning in a full-fledged manner supporting the parish in its ministry. St. Thomas Mar Thoma Parish cherishes the many accolades awarded to its members: Sevika Sanghom members winning at many competitions at center and diocesan level, a younger member winning at Yuvajana Sakhyam Kendra Kalamela, and our Sunday School students winning different prizes are decorating the crown of this parish with golden feathers. Members of this parish are cheerful yet humbled to say that they received the award of ‘Best Parish’ in the Delhi Diocese for the year 2013/14. St. Thomas Parish’s substantial role in the activities of the Episcopal churches in Kuwait too is worth a mention. Presently we have 1187 members from 389 units out of which 319 are families and 70 are single members. Around 240 members obtained transfer from Kuwait Parish and in the very first year our parish could locate many Marthomites without membership of any parish in Kuwait and extend the Christian fellowship to them. We continue to serve humanity in Kuwait, India, and other parts of the world.
