St. Thomas Church, Jerusalem, Syriac Catholic church building in East Jerusalem, Israel
The Saint Thomas Church complex contains a cathedral, pilgrim accommodations, and a youth center at the House of Abraham location.
The church building, completed in 1986, serves as the headquarters for the Syriac Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Jerusalem, established in 1890.
The congregation maintains traditional Syriac language worship services, continuing the linguistic practices from the time of Jesus and his apostles.
The church facilities provide spaces for religious ceremonies, community gatherings, and temporary housing for visiting pilgrims throughout the year.
The exarchate headquarters moved multiple times between 1900 and 1973 before finding its permanent location at the current church site.
