Note:
The first experiment of an English-Syriac bilingual Syro Malabar Qurbana was at the National Shrine and Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, in Washington, D. C., on 7 September 2013. Major Archbishop George Cardinal Alencherry was the celebrant (Aramaic Project-65 [ Ссылка ]). The youth choir that sang at the Qurbana liked the idea. They encouraged me to continue the experiment elsewhere in America and other English-speaking parts of the world. When Dr. Martin Antony in England suggested the idea of an Eastern Christian Festival in England, we decided to make a bilingual Qurbana a part of it. What we see in the video is one such celebration at the Sacred Heart Church, Warrington, UK. Later, we repeated the same experiment at the Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Central London on 1 August 2015 (Aramaic Project-136 A [ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ]). As of 2021, the idea of a bilingual English Syriac Syro Malabar Qurbana is popular among the Syro Malabar Youth in the English-speaking parts of the world.
We are immensely grateful to Dr. Martin Antony and James (Prince) for taking the initiative and making the local arrangements for the celebration., especially at Warrington. The was the first attempt in the UK. We are grateful to Bro. Tony Simon for sharing the video of this historic event with us.

Syro Malabar Day Celebrations at Warrington, Archdiocese of Liverpool, UK 26 July 2015

A Syro Malabar day was celebrated in the Roman Catholic Parish of Warrington today. Syro Malabar Eucharistic Liturgy in the English language was celebrated with a few Aramaic chants like 'Pukdanacon', 'Kandeesa Alaha' etc sung by Rev DR Joseph Palackal co celebrated with Rec Christopher Cunningham, Rev Fr Zacharias Kanjoopparampil, Rev Fr Roy. A large number of English Catholics also attended the celebration. The choir was led by Ann Preston, who commented that this was a wonderful experience. Ann is very familiar with Latin Rite Mass and chants, but the Syriac chants and Syriac rite Mass were a different experience. She felt privileged to sing chants in the language of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The English community actively participated in the celebration of Holy Qurbana by singing chants. They felt that in the Syro Malabar Qurbana, the participation of the congregation is more and they enjoyed singing the chants like the Psalms alternatively by the Celebrant and the congregation.
