The St. Mary, Queen of Peace Syro-Malankara Catholic Eparchy in USA and Canada is the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church eparchy of the Catholic Church for all of North America, and is home to 23 parishes and missions in different cities. The Syro-Malankara Church observes the Antiochian Rite in the Syriac language. It is immediately subject to the Major Archbishop of Trivandrum, and is not part of an ecclesiastical province. Its cathedral is the St. Vincent de Paul Syro Malankara Catholic Cathedral in Elmont, New York, United States.

History In 2001, the Holy Synod of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church requested that Pope John Paul II establish a jurisdiction for Syro-Malankara parishes in the United States, which had each been functioning under the direction of the local Latin Church bishops, and requested the appointment of a proper Ordinary of the church sui iuris. On July 14, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI erected the Syro-Malankara Catholic Apostolic Exarchate in the United States, a missionary pre-diocesan apostolic exarchate. Thomas Eusebius, formerly secretary general of the Syro-Malankara Catholic Major Archeparchy of Trivandrum, became the first Exarch. In the sole incumbent was also vested the office of Apostolic Visitor in Canada of the Syro-Malankars.
