Vicar’s Message
- Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We thank God for His abundant blessings and faithful guidance. By God’s grace, we have completed one year of ministry in the Houston Trinity Mar Thoma Parish as Vicar. I sincerely thank each one of you for your prayers, love, encouragement, and wholehearted support throughout this journey. May God richly bless you and your families. I humbly request your continued prayers and support in the days ahead as we continue to serve the Lord together.
It is with great joy that we welcome our new Assistant Vicar, Rev. Sonu S. Varghese, who officially took charge on May 07, 2026. We warmly welcome Achen, Sherin Kochamma, Christopher, and Henry to the Houston Trinity Mar Thoma Parish family. May God bless their ministry among us and strengthen them as they begin this new chapter of service in our parish community.
As a parish family, we are preparing to celebrate our 52nd Parish Day on Sunday, May 24, 2026, beginning at 8:30 AM. We thank God for His faithfulness and guidance throughout these years. On this blessed occasion, 12 of our children will receive their First Holy Communion. We are honored to have our Suffragan Metropolitan, Rt. Rev. Dr. Euyakim Mar Coorilos Suffragan Metropolitan, lead the Holy Communion service and inaugurate the Parish Day meeting. I encourage all members to prayerfully participate and join together in this joyful celebration.
Please keep in mind the following upcoming parish and diocesan events:
Diocesan Assembly: May 29–30, 2026, in New Jersey
Choir Musical Workshop: June 05–06, 2026
Parish Harvest Festival: Saturday, June 27, 2026

Let us continue to grow together in faith, fellowship, and service. May the Lord strengthen our parish as we worship, learn, and serve as one family in Christ.
With prayers and blessings,
Rev. Gigo M. Jacob
Vicar
Houston Trinity Mar Thoma Parish
