A vibrant Syro-Malabar Eucharistic community in Basavanagar-Kaggadasapura, Bengaluru—united in worship, fellowship and service.

Consecrated18 July 2021
Welcome

Built through faith.
Alive through its people.

The story of St. Mary's is the story of families who longed for a spiritual home, prayed together and offered their time, talent and treasure to build one.

What began as a small fraternity became a parish united in the Word of God, the Holy Qurbana, the profession of faith and the loving patronage of Mother Mary.

“The church is not a building—the church is a people.”

Our journey

From a shared dream
to a living sanctuary.

Former Vicar · Parish Builder · Visionary

With faith, vision and tireless dedication, Fr. Dr. Davis Panadan helped build this parish from the ground up. During eleven years of pastoral leadership, he guided a growing worshipping community and led the development of St. Mary's Church, the school and the PU college.

His service gave the parish not only its buildings, but a lasting foundation for prayer, education and community life. Generations will continue to benefit from the institutions he helped bring to life.

With gratitude for a shepherd who transformed a shared dream into an enduring home of faith and learning.
