The Arockia Annai'yin Dallas Tamil Catholic Association, (affectionately known as DTC) started on August 15th, 2006, to encourage and unite Tamil Catholics living in Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) area to come together once a month to have a Tamil mass and help the community to grow in spiritual life.

Rev. Fr. Peter Chinnappan from Dallas, TX diocese is the founder and spiritual director of DTC.

The creation of the DTC has been encouraged and supported by several Tamil priests and families living in and around DFW.

The DTC community wishes to reach out to the Tamil community to share their social, cultural, and spiritual values.

Arockia Annai-yin Dallas Tamil Catholic Community is presently part of Holy Family of Nazareth as a Tamil cultural ministry, located at 2330 Cheyenne St., Irving, Texas 75062 in the Diocese of Dallas, TX
