What we found
We searched for this congregation by name, by its Salazamay location in Toamasina, and alongside the Malagasy Anglican church body, and we found no page, directory entry, map listing or social media account for a "Misiona Anglikana Santa Matio Salazamay" anywhere. The wider church family it claims to belong to is well documented: the Malagasy Episcopal Church (EEM) is the name of the Anglican Church in Madagascar and is made up of six dioceses, and St James' Cathedral in Toamasina is the seat of the Anglican Diocese of Toamasina, part of the EEM and of the Church of the Province of the Indian Ocean (Wikipedia, mg.wikipedia).
