The Regional Director and the Councillors of St Thomas Mission in Mandya, in consultation with the General Council of the Missionary Society of St Thomas the Apostle (MST), requested His Excellency Mar Antony Kariyil, the then Bishop of the diocese of Mandya, for permission to begin a new parish in Bangalore in 2016. Bishop Antony Kariyil, after consultations with his pastoral team, assigned a new place to the MST at Yelahanka New Town. Rev. Fr. Sunny Perumpuzha MST was appointed to organize the Syro-Malabar Catholics in the area and to establish a new parish. Very Rev. Fr Mathew Koikara, the Vicar General and Rev. Fr Roy Vattakunnel, the Forane Vicar of Sulthanpalaya, along with some parishioners, outlined the boundaries and the area of the proposed parish. The new Mass Centre had a humble start when Very Rev. Fr Mathew Koikara, in the presence of the MST Regional Director and councillors, Rev. Fr. Sunny Perumpuzha MST and a few parishioners, celebrated the Holy Eucharist in a rented house at Kattigenahalli on 12 September 2016.

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

It is with great joy and gratitude that I welcome you to Mother of Victory Church, Yelahanka, Bengaluru. Established in 2016, our parish is a young and growing faith community dedicated to becoming a home of prayer, love, fellowship, and service.

Our patronage of Mother of Victory reminds us to place our trust in God and to walk together in faith, hope, and charity. As a parish family, we seek to grow closer to Christ through the Holy Eucharist, prayer, catechesis, and compassionate service to one another.

I warmly invite everyone to participate actively in the life of our parish. May our church become a place where families are strengthened, children and young people grow in faith, and everyone who enters our doors experiences God's love and peace.

Let us journey together as one family, supporting and encouraging one another in our Christian vocation.

May Mother of Victory intercede for us and lead us always closer to her Son, Jesus Christ.

With prayers and blessings,

Fr. Jiby Antony Thekkemuriyil, MST
