Nazareth Mar Thoma Church

THE TIME IS NOW

Faith becomes visible when a church moves quickly toward prayer, mercy, public witness, and practical support for its neighbours in Lucan and across Dublin.

Manifesto

These are the principles shaping how Nazareth Mar Thoma Church prays, serves, speaks, and organizes.

  1. We believe worship must lead directly to visible compassion in public life.
  2. We believe every family deserves prayerful support, practical care, and a church that responds quickly.
  3. We believe young people should inherit courage, clarity, and community responsibility.
  4. We believe service becomes stronger when members organize together instead of waiting alone.
  5. We believe urgent local needs deserve urgent Christian action.
