Every second Saturday of the month, Divine Liturgy in English of Sunday - Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family, Duke Street, London W1K 5BQ.

Very sadly, the Divine Liturgy in English at 9-30 am on Sundays at the Holy Family Cathedral, Lower Church, have had to be put on hold. Until the practicalities we cannot use the Lower Church space. Hopefully this will be resolved very soon. Please keep checking in here for details.

Owing to public health guidance, masks should still be worn indoors and distance maintained. Sanitisers are available. Holy Communion is distributed in both kinds from the mixed and common chalice, by means of a separate Communion spoon for each individual communicant.

St Thomas Christians Blog

Fr Mark Woodruff, vice-chairman, writes

It was a great pleasure to make contact with a recent new member of the Society, Dr Martin Anthony from Chester. He is an active member of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, and we are delighted to link to his interesting blog on the Saint Thomas Christians, with roots from the earliest times in the ancient Churches of Persia and Iraq-Syria.

Dr Anthony presented me with the newly published "The Legacy of the Apostle Thomas in India" by the Revd Dr Andrews Mekkattukunnel, of the Oriental Institute of Religious Studies India, in Vadavathoor, Kottayam (Kerala) and  the DVD by the distinguished priest-musicologist Dr Joseph Palackal, "Kerala, the Cradle of Christianity in South Asia", issued by the Christian Musicological Society of India.

Dr Anthony pointed out that, in view of ongoing Malaysian court decisions to forbid Christians to address God as "Allah", in the classic Syriac version of his Church's liturgy which predates the emergence of Islam, in the Thrice-Holy Hymn God is addressed as Holy God - "Qamdish Allaha".
