  • St. Mary's Knanaya Catholic Church located in Morton Grove, Illinois, in the United States is the second Knanaya Catholic Church established on 18 July 2010 for Knanaya Catholics living in and around Chicago. Formerly the parish was part of the Knanaya Catholic Mission that was established by the Archdiocese of Chicago on 28 October 1983 for the Knanaya Catholics migrated to Chicago and suburbs from Kerala. With the establishment of the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago in 2001, the mission came under the new diocese. The mission bought St. James Church in Maywood, Illinois, from the Archdiocese of Chicago in September 2006 under the leadership of the mission director and Vicar General Fr. Abraham Mutholath. Bishop Mar Jacob Angadiath elevated the mission as Sacred Heart Knanaya Catholic Parish on 24 September 2006 with Fr. Abraham Mutholath as the first pastor of the parish. Considering the size and vast area of the parish, Vicar General Fr. Abraham Mutholath started St. Mary's Knanaya Catholic Parish Unit for the parishioners living in the north side of 90 Expressway with effect from 1 January 2007 and offered Holy Mass on Sunday evening at Our Lady of Victory Church, Chicago. St. Mary's Parish Unit bought a synagogue in Morton Gove and remodeled it as a church under the guidance of the pastor Fr. Abraham Mutholath. Bishop Mar Jacob Angadiath consecrated the church and elevated it as a parish on 18 July 2010. Now the parish comes under Sacred Heart Knanaya Catholic Forane, Chicago, Knanaya Catholic Region, and St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago. The parish serves around 800 families. (en)
