Rooted in an unbroken apostolic faith
St. Mary’s Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church is located in Los Angeles, California, where worship services are held every Sunday in the timeless Syriac Orthodox tradition.
We are a parish of the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch — a communion that traces its life to St. Peter and the first Christians of Antioch, where the disciples were first called Christians. In our liturgy, our hymns, and our common life, we carry forward a faith that is both ancient and ever-living.
