Onakkoor Sehiyon Jacobite Syrian Church (Onakkoor)

India / Kerala / Piravam / Onakkoor
Onakkoor Sehiyon Jacobite Syrian church is located near Piravom, Ernakulam District of Kerala .
The Parish is in Kandanadu Diocese of Malankara Jacobite Syrian Church and is under the Holy Apostolic See of Antioch and All the East (Syrian Orthodox Patriarchate).

The foundation stone of the Church was laid in the early 1920's with the Kalpana(order) from H.G.Paulose Mor Athanatius(Alwayile Valiyathirumeni). As it was the early days of disputes in the Malankara Church, the Patriarchal faction from different nearby parishes came together and decided to build a church in the name of Mor.Ignathiose Noroono, the 3rd Patriarch of Antioch. This shows the faith and vision of the forefathers and the aim of building a new church. Since then, the Jacobite Christians in this region join together in the church, worship the God and receive holy blessings from the God Almighty. Now, the Parish has around 500 families and around 2500 members.
