The Syro-Malabar Indian Community in Frankfurt was officially erected in the Diocese of Limburg, Germany, for the Pastoral Care of the Catholics from Kerala, India. The Parish was inaugurated on 05th May 2002 during the Holy Mass celebrated in St. Antonius Church, Frankfurt-Roedelheim. Pfr. Willy Huebinger (Dezernent, Pastorale Dienste, Diocese of Limburg), in the presence of P. Peter Schuetz CMF (Provincial Superior of the Claretian Congregation, Germany) and Priests, Religious Sisters and Laity, handed over the Document of erecting the Parish to Fr. Devadas Paul CMF who was appointed as the Vicar of the Community.
We, the Parish Priest and Members
of the Parish Community are gratefully indebted to
His Grace Late Mar Varkey Cardinal Vithayathil,
Major Arch Bishop of Syro-Malabar Church
and Rev. Dr. Franz Kamphaus,
former Bishop of the Diocese of Limburg.
The faithful gather together every first and second Sunday at 16:00 Hrs. to celebrate Holy Eucharist in Syro-Malabar Rite. Laity activities like Vincent de Paul Society and Pastoral Care activities like Catechism for the Children etc. are conducted before or after the Holy Mass. There is also Holy Adoration every 1st and 2nd Sunday of the Month at 14:30 Hrs. onwards.
