MUMBAI DIOCESE

About Us

The Mumbai Diocese encompasses the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat and Goa in the western region of India and regions in the Sultanate of Oman. Presently the various centres in this Diocese account for 59 Parishes and 14 congregations. Rt. Rev. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Theodosius Episcopa is the Diocesan Bishop. There are 60 members of the clergy serving in this Diocese. The Church in this western region of the country spreads over an increasingly multilingual, multicultural and the pluralistic context. It serves as an example of Christ taught love for all humanity. This Diocese is known as the "Missionary Diocese". The mission work is given utmost importance and various mission projects are taken up by the Diocese. The Mission activities of the Diocese are spread over the State of Maharashtra and Gujarat. The Evangelistic Association of the Church is continuing the Mission work in Goa. In the field of education, the St. Thomas English Medium Schools (STEMS) cater to the needs of building a new hope filled community. The Schools in Surat, Ahwah, Bhuj, Vapi and Surat come under this initiative. The Diocese, although young, has been compatriot in the Lords ministry in its walk of Faith. Like the tree planted on the riverside, ministry is giving results in this special context ensuring that divine love becomes translated to all of God’s creation.
