St Dionysius Indian Orthodox Church (SDIOC)

On 9th April 2003, Mar Irenaios sent a kalpana (encyclical) declaring the congregation as a parish and a Parish Managing Committee was appointed. Thus the St Dionysius Indian Orthodox Church (SDIOC), came into being and is the first parish in Chennai Diocese to be named after St.Dionysius, the illumina-tor of the church. On 7th May 2003, the SDIOC was incorporated in New Zealand.
