About UTC

The United Tamil Catholics Community (UTC) was started by a group of Tamil speaking Catholic Families and Tamil Priests on August 15th, 2010 with the celebration of “Feast of Assumption of Our Lady” and the “63rd Independence Day of India” in St. John The Baptist Church, Jersey City, NJ, USA. In the first gathering approximately 50 families attended the Tamil Mass and the name “United Tamil Catholics” was selected by majority of the members and was unanimously accepted by all the members present.

UTC is dedicated to the principles of UNITY as a group of Tamil speaking people with similar values and Catholic beliefs. The main goal of the association is to unite all Tamil Catholics by celebrating The Holy Mass in Tamil as one family. The organization aims at promoting growth as an individual and also as a group.
 
This community does not believe in titles or channelizing authority to a single group of people. It focuses on an effort that will be/should be driven by anyone in UTC who wants to help improve Tamil Catholic Community in NJ/NY/PA/DE spiritually and socially. 

UTC believes that Children are our future and so encourages kid’s to showcase their talents in all our gatherings. Also, it focuses on building strong young individuals with Tamil culture and moral values. 

UTC is guided by Multi-Cultural Ministries of the Metuchen Diocese and coordinated by Indian Apostolate. UTC will celebrate Holy Mass in Tamil on the First Sunday of every month @ 3:00 PM in Our Lady of Peace Church, 398, Harding Avenue, North Brunswick, NJ 08902 followed by fellowship in the Church Parish Center. Members of United Tamil Catholics will be communicated via email, evite and WhatsApp. 

Come, let us worship the LORD together in Tamil as one big family.
