this has become the first parish for the Knanaya Catholic Community outside the proper territory of the Syro-Malabar Major Archiepiscopal Church and the first to become parish among the officially erected Knanaya Catholic Missions of the St. Thomas Syro- Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago. We gratefully remember the Most Reverend Archbishops and Bish- ops, Very Reverend priests and all the people of good will, who worked hard for the inception and building up of the people of God of this Mission into its present growth.
